Last August, this article detailed postage increases for First Class and Media Mail coming in January 2011.  I haven't heard anything since.  Anyone heard a date for this?

Here's the article:  http://www.suite101.com/content/usps-rate-change-for-2011---postage-price-increase-on-the-way-a275080

IIRC this was declined.  Fairly sure there is no postage increase on the way for 2011, especially the first half of the year.

Thanks Diane, I was thinking of Media & First Class as those are the two I use most often.

Newspaper this week said the increase was disapproved by Congress and PO was taking it to Supreme Court to try to push thru----- so obviously not happening in JAN 2011  !!

Congress and the Supreme Court have nothing to do with setting postage rates.
