USPS Rate Increase
Effective Monday, May 11, 2009


On May 11 the price for a 1-ounce First-Class Mail stamp will increase from 42� to 44�. Prices for other mailing services � Standard Mail, Periodicals, Package Services (including Parcel Post), and Extra Services � will also change.

Customers can use their Forever Stamps � regardless of when purchased � to mail 1-ounce letters after the price change, without the need for additional postage. Forever Stamps are widely available through Post Offices and commercial retail outlets such as grocery stores.

Prices for postage rates will continue to adjust each May. Prices for most shipping services, including Express Mail and Priority Mail, were adjusted in January and will not change in May.
Please contact UH Postal Services if you have any questions on the new rates.
