Stamps and Priority Mail services went up in price Sunday, and a new worldwide stamp is now available.
The price to send a letter just went up a penny; stamps are now 46 cents. This increase was part of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) hike on stamps and priority mail, which became effective on Sunday. Even with the price hike, experts claim the USPS could run out of money within six months to a year if Washington doesn't act, according to NBC. Mail delivery could even stop for a period of time, Michael Crew, director of the Center for Research in Regulated Industries, told NBC. If you want to plan ahead and avoid future (and probably inevitable) hikes, the USPS offers Forever Stamps, that are good for — well — as long as the Mail Service is delivering mail.

Tiverton Police, working with US Postal Inspectors and Massachusetts State Police, arrested a local man after discovering he was being shipped in marijuana and steroids from California via the federal mail service.
A local man was charged with two counts of felony drug possession after local police - who were working with federal inspectors - found he was receiving marijuana and steroids through the mail. Craig P. St. Amour 37, of 464 Hooper St., Tiverton, was arrested on Monday, June 25 at 1:35 p.m. after Tiverton Police, Massachusetts State Police and Unites States Postal Inspectors made a controlled delivery of a package that they suspected to contain narcotics.

But you will have to do it with Express Mail and delivery is not guaranteed after today.
You've procrastinated. And you still need to mail a gift to a relative or friend out of town. And you want it to be there in time for Christmas. You can still get your gift from here to there with overnight Express Mail. But there is no guarantee after today, said Tiverton Postmaster Lisa Pontes. "We do the best we can," she said about the two to three day delivery. "The cost depends on where it's going. There are different zones. Flat rate boxes are a set price." Pontes said the cheapest overnight package costs $14.25. It’s not cheap. But packages and envelopes for most Express Mail items are free, and they also offer carrier pick-up or Priority or Express mail. You can skip the trip to the post office entirely by going online at usps.com…

@jmack, you're right and what makes marijuana illegal in the US is how the government (DEA) classifies it. Marijuana is classified as a Class I drug. All Class I drugs are illegal drugs such as Heroine, PCP, marijuana etc. Oxycontin (Oxycodone) is a Class II drug like Percocet and Fentanyl. Does anyone actually believe that marijuana, a Class I drug is more addictive than say Oxycontin a Class II… more ›
