Mailing your bills, birthday cards, and more will cost you a little more beginning next week. Beginning July 14th, a First-Class Forever stamp will rise in price from 68 cents to 73 cents. The United States Postal Service has continuously raised the stamp price in recent years, including a two-cent hike this past January. According to The Hill, the price of stamps has gone up 33 percent since 2021. “As inflationary pressures on operating expenses continue and the effects of a previously defective pricing model are still being felt, these price adjustments are needed to provide the Postal Service with much-needed revenue to achieve the financial stability sought by its Delivering for America 10-year plan,” USPS officials said last October ahead of the January price increase. That is not the only price increase going into effect on Sunday. Metered letters will also increase a nickel from 64 to 69 cents. Domestic postcard stamps will see a smaller increase of three cents (56 cents from 53 cents), but international postcards and letters will increase by 10 cents from $1.55 to $1.65. The good news is that any Forever stamps you buy ahead of the price increase will still be good to use.
