I know it won't be so bad, but it does kinda suck that they're raising the price of stamps and at the same time cutting back service. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-price-of-stamps-is-going-up-tomorrow#post-1376130 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 20:59:37 +0000 babycanuck 1376130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Do you have door to door delivery? I'm in a newer subdivision so we have a community box area. It's not that bad. Gives me a reason to go for a walk ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-price-of-stamps-is-going-up-tomorrow#post-1376127 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 20:58:11 +0000 Meridian 1376127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im glad I have a large stash of forever stamps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-price-of-stamps-is-going-up-tomorrow#post-1373761 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:35:56 +0000 spaniellove 1373761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you for the reminder; I kept thinking I needed to buy some! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-price-of-stamps-is-going-up-tomorrow#post-1373760 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:35:28 +0000 Mamaof2 1373760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>huh!

We have one that locks so I think our mail is quite secure. It even has an extra large slot for parcels (they leave the key for that one in your slot if you have a parcel).</p> <p>My parents in Toronto have a mail slot on the door--it seems quite obvious that no one is home if anyone peels through when they forget to hold their mail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-price-of-stamps-is-going-up-tomorrow#post-1373718 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:21:13 +0000 pui 1373718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: In a lot of the newly built places, they have those public mail boxes on every second block or so... however, in older places (like where I live) I'm not sure what they are planning to do. I'm assuming put up mailboxes like that there too?</p> <p>@NurseMommy: Ah I'm reading that it will be $1 a stamp if purchased one at a time, but $0.85 if purchased in packs.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/canada-post-suspends-sale-of-permanent-stamps-as-critics-fume-over-changes-1.1586734" rel="nofollow">http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/canada-post-suspends-sale-of-permanent-stamps-as-critics-fume-over-changes-1.1586734</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-price-of-stamps-is-going-up-tomorrow#post-1373695 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:13:28 +0000 NurseMommy 1373695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: they will have neighbourhood mailboxes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-price-of-stamps-is-going-up-tomorrow#post-1373683 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:09:24 +0000 lovehoneybee 1373683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the heads-up, just ordered a couple of books ($1.25 shipping, at least for me, if you're wondering--worth it to avoid lugging E into the post office.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-price-of-stamps-is-going-up-tomorrow#post-1373671 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:02:09 +0000 Bao 1373671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Geeze.
