Forever Stamps

[[e-mail]]

Friends, I was told that I could NOT use my forever stamps to ship to
Canada by a local Detroit Post Office clerk. Sadly I had to pay for 6
new stamps.

According to these facts the Clerk was wrong, and you MAY use them for
International mail, but I choose not to argue at 11.30 at night at the
24 hour post office.

Forever Stamp Fact Sheet
The Forever Stamp first went on sale in April 2007. Since then, more
than 6 billion Forever Stamps have been sold.
As the name suggests, Forever Stamps can be used to mail a one-ounce
letter regardless of when the stamps are purchased or used and no
matter how prices may change in the future.
Forever Stamps are always sold at the same price as a regular First-
Class Mail stamp. Forever Stamps are currently being sold for 41 cents
and will be sold for 42 cents starting May 12, 2008.
The Postal Service developed the Forever Stamp for consumers to ease
the transition during price changes. There is only one Forever Stamp —
it features an image of the Liberty Bell.
Forever Stamps are available for purchase at post offices nationwide,
online at usps.com, by phone at 1-800-STAMP-24, and from Automated
Postal Centers and ATMs. They are sold in booklets of 20 and sheetlets
of 18.
Customers can use Forever Stamps for international mail, but since all
international prices are higher than domestic prices, customers will
need to attach additional postage. The value of the Forever Stamp is
the domestic First-Class Mail letter price in effect on the day of
use.

Sorry,

It should not matter what postage you use (as long as it's your
country and the proper amount) to any other country in the world. I
used to think that it did matter. See a long time ago, my post office
told me Canada and Mexico they has special stamps for (and they had
little silver airplanes in the corner). But another post office said
no, it's just a product they sold and as long as the amount is right,
it doesn't matter what the stamp looks like.

I have this problem and other problems post office to post office (and
IRC's REALLY wreak havoc). Apparently, the postal people are ill
trained.
