The U.S. Postal Service will hike the price of first-class mail “Forever” stamps to 66 cents from 63 cents.
According to a release from the postal service, the stamp price jumps July 9.
In an April news release, USPS cited rising operating costs “fueled by inflation” for the increase in stamp prices.
In addition, the cost to send a domestic postcard will increase to 51 cents and a 1-ounce letter mailed to another country will jump to $1.50.
The price for a single-piece letter and flat additional-ounce price remains at 24 cents.
