And make sure all the carriers have enough in their possession on the last Saturday before they go up.   I remember one time we had a sub that wouldn't carry many stamps and of course she got lots of checks for stamps.   Monday morning the checks were laying there, the stamp orders unfilled, and computer wouldn't let the clerk sell at the old rate.   Quite the argument over who was going to get stuck for the increase.   Can't remember who won either.

Stamp prices wouldn't even be going up if the idiots in congress back in 2004 hadn't pushed through that requirement prefunding our pensions for the next 75 years.    Dumbest thing I've ever seen.
