I just went to the Post Office (contract outlet) to purchase some postal
Stamps. When I made my selections and started to pull out my debit
Card, I was politely told that USPS will not accept any more
Debit/Credit cards! It was explained to me that the Post Office does
Not want to pay the fee that the credit card companies charge for retail
Use of the Debit/Credit card. This became effective about a week ago -
And I haven't seen anything in the press regarding this. Needless to
Say, I walked out of the store without making my purchase since I carry
Neither cash or checks.
So now we are required to pay for stamps with checks or cash! I will be
Doing more bill paying via the bank (until they start charging for this
Service).
Is there anything that the USPS won’t stoop to get more $? And, on May
12 the first class rate (among other rate increases) goes to. 42 for a
Letter/card, etc. I think the USPS has really gone too far this time.
