In May most likely. I don't think the final decision has been made.
Yes. They won't go up before May. They probably will go in May, but the amount is still unknown.
It is still valid postage but insufficient to cover the new increased 1st class rate.
No, the current rate is 44 cents in the US. It went up on May 2009 from 42 cents. Congress has not authorized an increase since then.
Forever stamps are still good for the new rates. Stamps with a 42-cent denomination require another 2 cents of added postage to meet the current rate of 44 cents.
In the U.S. Postal Stamps are 42 cents each
Flag stamps were 42 cents face value, they were supposed to be forever stamps, postage never to increase from that 42 cents, but that flew out the window real fast.
Postage stamps are 49 cents and still rising. in 2009 they are 52 cents.
Postage is now 42 cents.
May 12, 2008, 41 cent stamps go up to 42 cents.
You can purchase 1 cent or 2 cent stamps.
If they say 42 cents on them, you need the additional 2 cent stamps to make up the difference. If they are 'Forever' stamps, they are valid for one ounce of First Class Postage regardless of the cost.
42 cents. But if you don't want to buy a 42 cent stamp then go ahead and put 42 1 cent stamps on there.
The postage rate in 2009 started off at 42 cents. It was raised from 42 cents to 44 cents on May 11th. The second ounce of postage remained at 17 cents..
Well a 42 cent stamp is worth 42 cents. There is no mark up on stamps. They cost face value.
Yes they are still valid. However, you will have to add 2 cents of postage to the envelope. The total must equal 44 cents on and after 11 May 2009.
