    I know the media rate is going to change...and I believe the parcel post...but I don't think the first class (1st ounce) and priority are changing at this time.

    Here's the link:

    Glad to see it is not going up until Tuesday Apr 17th - because I believe that tomorrow is the last day to mail your taxes in

    the 1st class is not going up at this time. It is the everything over the 1st class that is going up on the oz over the 1st class. Just another sneaky way to get people to pay more postage. Monday April 18th is the final day to mail your taxes in. sunday is the 17th.

    That really stinks--got postage rates for THREE big pkgs... on Fri. and Sat.
    No one said rates were going up---had to get the PP rate to get paid via Paypal before I mailed them. Now I am MAD!Suppose I will have to absorb the difference and these are PIFS---GRRRR.
