USPS stamp prices set to go down 2 cents in April 2016

Kathleen Daniels - I generally use Staples as my post office -- they have a contract with USPS, has long hours and short lines.  I'm keeping most of my "forever stamps" 'cause my hunch is this decrease won't last long.

Melanie Ross - nice to see you here, Melanie! And a wedding -- how exciting for you. See my note to Kathleen, above.

Hi Chris Ann Cleland - I suspect the reduced rate won't stay in place long -- I'm hanging onto my rolls of Forever stamps, at least for now.

Hi Brian England - I've seen nothing in the papers; haven't heard a peep on the radio. Good thing I have some great title company reps here. This is the first decrease in almost 97 years! (My hunch is that it will be short-lived.)

I know, Evelyn Johnston - I told my husband I couldn't remember a drop in postage rates ever -- then I read it's the first time in almost 97 years that they've dropped. That would explain it.

How many of us bought rolls and rolls of Forever stamps as a hedge against rate hikes, Joe Petrowsky ?

Me too, Tammy Lankford - I think the decrease will be short-lived.

Sheila Anderson and Grant Schneider - apparently a couple of years ago when the prices were increased, they were increased for only a short duration. Time's up!

Now would be the time to stock up, Rebecca Gaujot, the Go To Realtor® - I suspect they might go up again in the near future?

It didn't seem to make sense, Laura Allen, Lake Tahoe - Truckee Real Estate for Sale www.TahoeLauraLuxuryHomes.com - so I checked it out. It's true--prices decreased last Sunday, 4/10/16. For how long is the big question.

It's amazing how quiet the press has been about this price roll-back, Sharon Tara . One of our title reps brought it to our attention, or I would have missed it for sure. 

Go quickly, Sharon Tara and get those stamps while they're on sale!!

I know, Right, Sharon Tara ?
