The United States Postal Service has filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission of mailing services price hikes to take effect Jan. 21, 2024. The new rates include a 2-cent increase in the price of a First-Class Mail Forever stamp, from 66 cents to 68 cents. If favorably reviewed by the commission, the price changes would include: letters from 66 cents to 68 cents, metered letters from 63 cents to 64 cents, Domestic Postcards from 51 cents to 53 cents, International Postcards from $1.50 to $1.55, and International Letter (1 ounce) from $1.50 to $1.55. There will be no change to the additional-ounce price, which remains at 24 cents.
The Postal Service is also seeking price adjustments for Special Services products including Certified Mail, Post Office Box rental fees, money order fees and the cost to purchase insurance when mailing an item.
The Postal Regulatory Commission will review the changes before they are scheduled to take effect.
