Iowa post offices report ample supplies of the new 15 cent stamps only a week after the price increase.

Iowa Postal Chief Defends 15 Cent First Class Stamp
Grant says the postal service raised to 15 cents for first class while keeping other rates, planned 13 cents earlier. He notes 16 centers on hand but says the rate change came from the commission and customers have accepted the price. Iowa faces possible legal challenges alleging discrimination against first class users. He argues the hike lets a newly independent service break even amid inflation and rising fuel costs.
