Dear USPS...

Could you please stop hiking up your postage rates almost every other month? It's getting to be kind of ridiculous at this point, and thanks to the recent 4 cent hike to international postage that I wasn't aware of, I now have several birthday cards that will be late, besides costing me 90 cents postage to get it sent to myself with a "not enough postage" rubber stamping on the envelope.

I think you guys have hiked the international rates by about 10 cents in the past year alone... at least actually get my fucking mail there faster if you're going to keep charging more and more money.

Kthx.

Whatever happened to "postage due"? I mean, yeah, it sucks for the recipient. But by returning it to you, they're getting your money twice. That's robbery.

I think it says "postage due" on it, but they've already run the envelope through the machine and it has stamped the postage stamp... so I didn't think that I could just add the additional 4c and put it in the mail again?

OH! Nevermind! You mean that the recipient has to foot the bill. I think maybe they don't do that because it's international and then collecting the 4c would be too difficult and cost more than it's worth?
