Here is a summary of the changes next month in USPS postal rates. Notice your 20c stamp won't be enough for added ounces. I don't think they have a 21 cent stamp yet.
Highlights of the new single-piece First-Class Mail pricing, effective Jan. 26, 2014 include:
Stamp prices have stayed consistent with the average annual rate of inflation of 4.2 percent since the Postal Service was formed in 1971.
•Letters (1 oz.) — 3-cent increase to 49 cents
•Letters additional ounces — 1-cent increase to 21 cents
•Letters to all international destinations (1 oz.) — $1.15
•Postcards — 1-cent increase to 34 cents
Pricing for Standard Mail, Periodicals, Package Services and Extra Services also will be adjusted as part of a filing to the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) scheduled to take place Sept. 26.
