[OKDXA] Postage Rates

Sat, 1 Jun 2002 15:52:37 -0400

Thanks for the info Nelson.

A postal clerk told me it will be 37 cents for a one ounce letter after June 30.  If you are sending out SASE's in the USA, remember to put 37 cents on them since they may not get mailed until after June 30.

Everyone will also need to upgrade their envelopes at the bureau.
