[Dx-qsl] Jan. 2012 postage rates...if approved

Tue Oct 18 19:33:20 EDT 2011

The new prices lift the cost of a first-class stamp to 45 cents starting 
on January 22, 2012, the first increase in more than two years.
The Postal Service is facing a financial crisis because mail volumes 
have declined as more people use electronic mail or the services of 
private sector competitors such as FedEx and United Parcel Service.
The Postal Service said the cost to mail a postcard will go up three 
cents to 32 cents, letters to Canada or Mexico will increase five cents 
to 85 cents, and letters to other international locations will increase 
seven cents to 1ドル.05.
