94 cents? That's daylight robbery.

I checked all the postcards I have which I received from the MS forum postcard exchange, and they all had 90 cent stamps on them!

I assume that postage costs have gone up for both of our countries. My first ones cost me $1:25 from here, now stamps on postcards from Australia to the US cost $1:30.

I received a greeting card in a sealed envelope yesterday, and that had 4 stamps on it. They were all bells, but I couldn't find the number of cents written on the stamp They just say USA First Class Forever.

Mine are all addressed and ready to go, so hopefully they'll be in the mail before too much longer.


PS. I do have spares for latecomers.

yep. rate went up here again. it's pain. if you had already bought stamps, then you have to go and buy 1c stamps.

costs them more to print them up.

Those are the "Forever Stamps." Someone from the post office got this bright idea that if we bought those, we could avoid the postage rate hikes. I don't even remember what I paid for them, but I have a bunch of them!

when someone pm's me their name and addy, i add it to the list and send out 1 group email to all on the list. it's been very easy to keep up with.


added for doody: i'll add you. yup...very organized.
Yep, that's what we did, just pm'd everyone who expressed an interest.

You've already got my addy, Curious, so please add me to the list.
