Yes, for only the second time in history postage rates decreased as of yesterday, April 10, 2016 (for the first time since 1919, when postage rates decreased from 3 cents to 2 cents).
New postage rates
But what about the stamps I already have?
Your “Forever†stamps that you purchased for 49 cents each are now worth 47 cents. If you buy a “Forever†stamp after April 10, the cost to you is 47 cents. Stamps that have a printed denomination on them will still be worth whatever price is marked on the stamp.
All Priority shipping prices remain the same . . .  but First Class packages, Media, Standard Post and Library prices are all decreasing. Be sure to stop at Mail Services and have a trained clerk help you with your shipping needs.
Please email Linda Sartwell at lsartwel@georgefox.edu if you have questions.
