First class postage is going up at the end of the month.  One dollar will get you a stamp that has no face value and is good for one first class mailing  30 grams and under. However if you buy quantities, books of 10 or more you get them for 85 cents a piece, or $8.50 cents a book of 10. Business mailings that are metered will be at 75 cents an item metered.

The price will be effective on March 31, 2014 and  until then stamps with  no face value will continue to be available at 66 cents and will be honored after  the March 31 change.

Parcels and unaddressed add mail will not be  changed.
