The annoyance, of course, being the need to make a trip to buy a roll of low-denomination stamps to cover the hike.
The only sad bit now is a hindsight view of the situation of old-world thinking. The management of the USPS royally dropped the ball by not taking enough extreme measures in response to the rapid-succession of deployment of the modern communication protocols of cell phones, text messages, and email. It is not entirely too late for USPS to take an approach similar to the way the oil industry.
In so doing, they will generate more revenue by people hoarding 'Forever' stamps. Money in the bank earns interest, right? Oh wait Look at that. Here I was so wrapped up in the way the USPS is declining due to 'free' competition and ired by the massive oil industry heist that I completely forgot about how the banks can no longer screw us over as hard and thus they don't pay interest any more.
Sorry USPS management. I thought I had it all figured-out for you. Oh well. Maybe I can pass-along some advice that holds water in a decade or so when the world economy starts working again.

Should have made 5 cent increases so you only need to add 1 extra stamp. Right now i say go for a 10 cent increase every year for a couple years. The other issue is the unfair distribution of mailboxes.
I drive 4 miles to the nearest mailbox and see 3 more within a mile and the 4th one is in a post office lot. Consolidate mailbox pickups and delivery to one truck not two.
We had a mailbox right outside our apartment complex and it was removed for supposed lack of use. Since I been waiting for 6 days for a letter that has my company check for payroll,supplies and living expenses. The Postmaster of Niceville, FL. With no attemp to find it. So when we have our next convention I will push a motion for our company to go to direct depoist. Banks worry a lot more about mistakes than the USPS.

Explaining out the requirements may help make the case of postal rate changes. No refunds though. The postage rate within the United States for a once-ounce or less first-class letter is 49 cents.
