Mail carriers will be delivering some good news and some bad news this week.
The bad news:Stamp prices are expected to rise 2 cents in May to 41 cents,the Postal Regulatory Commission announced yesterday.The good news:With the introduction of a “forever stamp,” it may be the last time Americans have to use annoying 2-or-3-cent stamps to make up postage differences.
Beginning in May,people would be able to purchase the stamps in booklets of 20 at the regular rate of a first-class stamp.As the name implies,“forever stamps” will keep their first-class mailing value forever,even when the postage rate goes up.
The new “forever stamp” is the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) answer to the complaints about frequent rate increases.The May increases will be the fifth in a decade.Postal rates have risen because of inflation (通货膨胀),competition from online bill paying,and the rising costs of employee benefits,including healthcare,says Mark Saunders,a spokesman for USPS.
The USPS expects some financial gain from sales of the “forever stamp” and the savings from not printing as many 2-or-3-cent stamps.“It’s not your grandfather’s stamp,” says Mr.Saunders.“It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp.”
Other countries,including Canada,England,and Finland use similar stamps.
Don Schilling,who has collected stamps for 50 years,says he’s interested in the public’s reaction.“This is an entirely new class of stamps.” Mr.Schilling says.He adds that he’ll buy the stamps because he will be able to use them for a long period of time,not because they could make him rich — the volume printed will be too large for collectors.“We won’t be able to send our kids to college on these,” he says,laughing.
The USPS board of governors has yet to accept the Postal Regulatory Commission’s decision,but tends to follow its recommendations.No plans have been announced yet for the design of the stamps.
这个星期邮件运营商将提供一些好消息和一些坏消息.坏消息是:邮政监督管理委员会昨天宣布5月份邮票价格预计将上涨2美分至41美分.好消息是:由于采用了“永久邮票” ,这可能是最后一次美国人使用2或3美分的邮票,以弥补运费的差异.
从5月开始,人们将能够购买邮票小册子的20日定期为一流的邮票.顾名思义,“永久邮票”将保持其一流的价值永远邮寄,即使邮费价格升高.
新的“永久邮票”是美国邮政服务公司(美国邮政)的答案,投诉频繁的加息.5月的增加将是第五次在十年.邮政利率已上升,因为通货膨胀(通货膨胀) ,竞争从网上支付帐单,以及成本上升,职工福利,包括医疗保健,马克桑德斯说,一个美国邮政管理局发言人.
美国邮政局预计,一些财政收益从销售的“永久邮票”和储蓄没有印刷很多2或3美分的邮票.“这不是你的祖父的邮票,”桑德斯先生说.“这可能是你的曾孙的邮票.”其他国家,包括加拿大,英国,芬兰和使用类似邮票.
唐席,谁收集的邮票50年来,说他感兴趣的是公众的反应.“这是一个全新的一流的邮票.”席林先生说.他补充说,他买邮票,因为他将能够使用他们很长一段时间,而不是因为它们可以使他丰富-印刷数量将过大的收藏家.“我们将无法向我们的孩子上大学就这些,”他笑着说.
美国邮政局董事会尚未接受邮政监管委员会的决定,但往往按照其建议.没有计划已宣布尚未设计的邮票.
