New Postage Rates for 2011 |
 |
|
The First-Class stamp will still be 44 cents after the new postage rates
begin April 17, 2011. The US Postal Service has officially announced the postage rate increases for the
2011-2012 mailing season. It is one of the smallest postage increases we
have ever seen. The Post Office has recently switched from doing large postage increases every 4 years to a smaller increase each year to keep up with costs and industry fluctuations.
The deadline for using the new intelligent mail barcodes has been extended. This is the real let-down of the new postage rates since we have been using them for over 3 years here at CSG Direct. Are we really so far ahead of everyone else that they are still trying to get barcodes updated? I guess so! This may be the final squeeze to get mail shops in or out of the game. So many of our innovations are based on them and it always shocks me how far in front of the pack we stay. CSG Direct invented America's first public US Mail Tracking systems You should check out our Direct Mail iPhone app based on the new Intelligent Mail Barcodes. |
