It appears that USPS has two rate increases on deck ...

The first is effective August 29th (two weeks from tomorrow).

Looks like $0.30 across the board - for the surge that is, I didn't see any
change for the August rates.

Oh, I was thinking it still cost around $2.64 for the cheapest 1st class, but
it seems you are correct.
