Stamp price to increase May 11

On May 11, the price for a first-class mail stamp will increase to 44 cents. The United States Postal Service increased the rate by two cents, from the previous 42 cent rate. Customers can use Forever stamps, regardless of when purchased, to mail 1-ounce letters after the price change, without the need for additional postage. Forever stamps are widely available through Post Offices, commercial retail outlets such as grocery stores, and online. Prices for other mailing services, including Standard Mail, Periodicals, Package Services (including Parcel Post), and extra services also will change. Prices for most shipping services, including Express Mail and Priority Mail, were adjusted in January and will not change in May.
