Stamps are going to be getting a bit more expensive this summer. On April 9, the US Postal Service announced that the organization had filed with the Postal Regulatory Commission to change the price of several mailing services, including a 5-cent increase to the price of a First Class Forever Stamp.
According to the USPS’ announcement, these price changes are due to continued changes in the mailing and shipping market and that “these price adjustments are needed to achieve the financial stability sought by the organization’s Delivering for America 10-year plan.”
This is the most recent of several price hikes that have hit the cost of postage over the last few years. Read on to find out how this will affect your mailing and shipping habits.
