True. One of the main reasons I started paying bills electronicly is I had to keep going the the USPS website to verify the current price of a stamp (they were raising the price so often.)
I wonder if this was the reason they came out with the always good stamp (that doesn’t have a price on it, but will always be good to send a 1st class letter.)
Are there any cons to paying electronically, I have hesitated doing that.
>>(they were raising the price so often.)
It does seem like it goes up on a regular basis, and I don’t know for sure how it compares with the price of stamps in other countries—other than Canada, which I just checked.
They currently are at 54 cents Cdn. for letters, or 43.4
cents U.S. Similar.
