Stamp prices are set to increase – again.
The US Postal Service filed a notice with its regulators to increase prices on First-Class „Forever“ stamps to 73 cents from 68 cents, marking yet another price hike for the financially beleaguered federal agency.
If approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission, the change would take effect in July, raising the cost of mailing services products by nearly 8%.
Stamp prices alone have soared 36% since 2019 when they used to cost 50 cents. The Postal Service last raised First-Class stamp prices by two cents in January, just a few months after it raised prices by three cents in July 2023.
