Worldwide diminishing postal service

Please complete the situation regarding the postal services in your country.

Sad news: starting next month, mail will only be delivered three times a week in The Netherlands. Reason: cutbacks. Stamps are becoming more expensive.

This is bad news for us mail artists. I really like being able to touch base with creative people all over the world. Maybe we still can but it will just take twice as long....sort of like the old days! Our postage rates go up at least twice a year. Our global rate is now $1.75 for one ounce. What are other countries paying, just out of curiosity?
