On May 7, 2009, the postal service will release a line of 44-cent Simpsons stamps. There will be five designs, each featuring a likeness of one of the series’ titular characters. Series creator Matt Groening penned the stamps.
On Nov. 23, 2008, the United States Postal Service put Move Update requirements into effect for Standard Presort Mail as well as First Class Presort Mail. The good news is that the new implementation date of the Move Update non-compliance charge for Standard Mail pieces has been changed from May 11, 2009 to Jan. 4, 2010. Yet on the USPS Web site, the new standards themselves are still listed as being effective on May 11, 2009. We called the Move Update Support Department seeking clarification.
