Well I went to the Po today,and they told me that the Postal Service has not yet printed new stamps with the new rates.
So there are no 3.50 or 3.95.So instead I get 3.20,20c and 10c.
How stupid is that,the PO has known of the increase for weeks.You would think they would be prepared for it.
Also these rate increase are really high when you think about it.
30c increase on under 1lb is about 12%.
Then the 3.95 an increase of 75c is a hefty increase almost 20%.

I agree that the increase seems very much out of line, so what's a poor seller to do? It's obvious that my local PO was in no way prepared for this.
If anyone want's to organize a boycott against the Post Office... I guess I'd be the last to join. Supply and demand - they're calling the shots right now.

My poor little post office doesn't even have new Ratefolds or a new rate chart for their scale! They do have some 1 cent stamps though. I agree, the postal service was totally unprepared for this rate increase! I'll have to take my downloaded printed Ratefold and copy it for my Post Office!!
