Do You Still Mail Stuff? It Could Cost You More in August I have come to the conclusion that I must be the last person on Planet Earth that actually sends people cards. Yep, cards. Don't get me started on the cost of cards either. Yes, you can find some that are $1 or $2, but the nice ones, the ones you want to send are creeping up on $8. Yep, $8 for something that is probably going to be tossed shortly after being received. Now add a little bit more kerosene to that particular fire with the United States Postal Service (USPS) asking for approval to raise their rates. Ok, if you think about it, for the distance that a card goes from say Key West, Florida to Juneau, Alaska and it only costs you 55 cents, that is a pretty good deal.
