Postmaster Crayson Cheung recommends avoiding the May 14 postage rate change rush at the Freehold Post Office by purchasing the newly issued Forever Stamps now. The postmaster explains that the Postal Service’s newest consumer innovation – the Forever Stamps went on sale April 12, a month before postage rates rise, to make it easier for customers to make the transition to the new rates. Featuring the Liberty Bell image and the word “forever,” the stamp will initially cost 41 cents and will be good for mailing 1-ounce first-class letters anytime in the future – regardless of price changes.
Research has shown that customers prefer the Forever stamp for the convenience it offers by easing the transition for mailing letters when prices change. When postage changes in the future, it will reduce the need to buy one- and two-cent stamps.
The postmaster adds that the Forever Stamps are also available in booklets of 20 through www.usps.com or by calling 1-800-Stamp-24. Forever stamps will be available through Automated Postal Centers May 14. Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) will begin offering the Forever stamp in sheets of 18 later in May. Once prices change May 14, the Forever stamp will remain on sale at the 41-cent First-Class 1-ounce letter price until the next price change. The Forever stamp will then be available at the new price.
The Liberty Bell was selected to appear on the Forever stamp because it resonates as one of the nation’s most prominent and recognizable symbols associated with American independence.
