My understanding is that the USPS wants a 2-cent increase, but since this amount is above the rate of inflation, they will have to justify the raise before the board which may not agree to it. I also believe that increases , if any, will always occur on May 1, from now on.

What is oppotunity cost?
anything you give up in order to obtain something else. It can be your time when choosing between going to that ball game or studying for your exam. If you go to the ball game the cost was giving up time to study.
Can I use stamps purchased before the price increases on 6th April and use them after the price increase?
Yes you can. Stamps with fixed values on them (such as 1p, 5p, etc.) will still be worth the same amount after the increase. However, stamps that say 1st, 1st Large, 2nd etc. will automatically increase in value when the price changes - so a 1st stamp now will still be valid for 1st after the change. It's therefore well worth stocking up on these stamps before the price increases, especially as this is probably the largest single price increase the Royal Mail has ever inflicted on its loyal customers. The "1st Large" stamp, in particular, is set to go up in price by nearly 20%. Remember that you can use these stamps as part payment on items requiring a higher amount of postage. For example, 2 "1st" stamps are worth 72p (78p after the increase), 3 "1st Large" stamps are worth £1.56 (£1.83 after the increase).

If they say 42 cents on them, you need the additional 2 cent stamps to make up the difference. If they are 'Forever' stamps, they are valid for one ounce of First Class Postage regardless of the cost.
