Postage Rates take another hike for 2019

The United States Postal Services has set new pricing for postage rates taking effect on January 27, 2019. The rates increases by about 2.5% across all mailing services and impacts mostly First-Class and Priority mail. The cost of a First-Class stamp will now be .55/each.  The good news for commercial mailers are though, the rate increase for Marketing Mail (aka Bulk mail) is minimal. Here's a quick comparison:

MAIL TYPE	MINIMUM QUANTITY	2019 RATE	2018 RATE
First-Class Presort*	500 pieces	$0.428	$0.424
Marketing Mail *	200 pieces	$0.291	$0.287
*Mixed AADC
