Announcement Re: Postage/Mailing

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

To our clients and colleagues:

As you know, we often use the US Postal Service (“USPS”) for mailing confirmation copies of documents – particularly international mailings.

As of 22 January 2012, the USPS increased its fees for many of its services including international Express Mail service.  Specifically, the USPS increased its postage fees for international flat rate Express Mail envelopes from $27.55 per envelope to $38.00 per envelope.  This amounts to an increase of nearly 38% (37.9%).

Accordingly, all international clients will notice an increase in postage fees on future invoices.  While we regret we have to do this, we have no control over postage fees charged by the USPS.

We thank you for your understanding.
