From now on, starting with the 2011 Lunar New Year stamp, all commemoratives stamps that you buy at a United States post office will be “Forever” stamps, which means that you won’t have to buy supplemental stamps to make up new rates should they go up.
In just a few days – January 22 – the Year of the Rabbit stamp will inaugurate this new service. It will always be valid to mail a first-class letter that weighs one ounce or less, no matter how high the rates go.It’s about time they did this. Along with the flat-rate boxes, the Forever stamps reflect a change of thinking in the U.S. Postal Service.
Good move.
Good deal! The Forever stamps are a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI love the orange stamp you show! So bright and pretty.
