US postage rates increase January 17th

Our already sky high rates are about to get even higher.

It is already unrealistic to mail coins overseas, now it's even worse apart from a modest reduction in rates for a narrow window of zones / weights. Users are being forced to subsidize a bloated government run monopoly and the gold plated benefits packages of big union collective bargaining muscle.

I think there will be far fewer members wiling to swap coins outside of the US borders in 2016.

It's only for business customers I believe.

Anyone using an in home metering system or mailing via PayPal etc. will fall into that category. Make no mistake, over the counter rates will shortly follow.
