The exigent price increase applied to Market Dominant products under which the USPS is currently operating is due to end in April. That is, unless Congress can be convinced to make it permanent. Objections have been raised to allowing this to happen by major mailers and organizations that represent them. Rolling back postal rates to pre-increase levels would allow first class letter postage to fall back to $.47 from the current $.49. Rates for postcards would drop $.01 to $.34 per piece. For those who use the Every Door Direct mail service, the rate would be $.176 per piece. Read more on Postal Explorer website, where downloadable price sheets are available.
