The Forever Stamp stamps out rate hike increases for sending a piece of mail, no matter how long you wait to mail your letter. This is great news to consumers since in the past, stamps would expire, resulting in a mad-and-aggravating dash to scrounge up a few extra 2 cent stamps just to be able to send a piece of mail. In fact, there has been so much excitement about the new Forever Stamp that there has even been talk about investing in copious numbers of stamps. However, this is not a recommended investment.  Monday, May 14th is when the US Postal Service introduces its new rates structure and begins allowing use of the new Forever Stamp. The stamp became available for purchase on May 12th for 41¢ and can be used to mail a piece of first class mail at any point in the future regardless of here-to-come rates increases. The Forever Stamp is a great innovation from the USPS. It’s convenient and it is an indication the Postal Service, a governmental monopoly, is responsive to consumers’ needs.
Buy lots of the stamps, just don’t buy thousands of them. It’s called snail mail for a reason; you’ll be creeping into a decent long-term return by going out and buying a bunch of these stamps.
