In addition to what Joe just posted, there is now a "FOREVER" (USPS
name) first class stamp available at today's price (41 cents) which will
remain effective for as long as your supply lasts regardless of future
rate increases. I asked the teller what would prevent someone from
coming in and buying $10,000 worth and without blinking she replied,
"we've already had people do that." At present they are only available
in strips of 20 rather than rolls of 100 which I prefer, but that will
undoubtedly change.
So before May 12th rolls around, you might want to consider loading up
on them. It prevents having to buy small-increment stamps to paste
alongside the current stamp when rates go. Plus, you can obviously save
a bunch of money on down the road.

Yes, USPS rates will be increasing on May 12. However, their
rates are still much lower than either UPS or FedEX ground for
similar service - both Express Mail and Priority Mail are
much less expensive than "Next Day" and "Two day" service
with signature confirmation to residential addresses than the
competition.
I use 100% USPS for my shipping.
