Snail Mail Alert: U.S. Stamp Prices Go Up Sunday

An AP newswire article, via SFGate.com, reports that:

It'll cost more to send mail starting Sunday. The first rate increase since 2002 will boost the cost of sending a first-class letter by 2 cents, to 39 cents.

The increase follows legislation requiring the Postal Service to place $3.1 billion in an escrow account this year. Another rate boost is likely next year to cover rising costs for the agency.
