Effective May 12, 2008, all postal rates with the United States Post Office will change.

The new rate for a first class stamp will be $.42

The rates for shipping via other methods will change as well.

One good new change is that shipping via Express Mail will switch to a zone system. That means that if you aren't shipping to someone very far away, Express Mail might be a good option for shipping plants.
