Four postal associations have asked U.S. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe to withdraw the U.S. Postal Service�s request for a $2.3 billion exigent postage increase for 2012.
The four groups -- The Direct Marketing Association; the Association for Postal Commerce 9; Alliance of Nonprofit Mailers; and MPA-The Association of Magazine Media -- sent a letter today to Donahoe, saying the request for a $2.3 billion exigent (above inflation) postage increase would be above the announced inflation-capped postage increases scheduled for Jan. 22, 2012.
