On May 12 the USPS will adjust prices for mailing services — First-Class Mail, Standard Mail, Periodicals, Package Services, and Special Services. The average increase by class of mail is at or below the rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index. A First-Class Mail stamp will be 42¢. Customers can continue to use the Forever Stamps that they purchased prior to May 12 at 41¢, even after the price change. We will have 5 billion Forever Stamps in stock to meet increased demand before the price change. Forever Stamps are widely available through Post Offices, Contract Postal Units, consignment locations, Automated Postage Centers, vending, and at The Postal Store®. So stock up on the FOREVER STAMPS because STAMPS will continue to increase every MAY.....
Consistent with The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act, the USPS will adjust mailing services prices each May. By law, these prices can increase on average no more than the rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index.The USPS plans to provide 90 days' notice of the new prices each year, to help mailers prepare for the change.
The USPS will also have a 62¢ stamp available shortly after May 12 for 1-ounce nonmachinable First-Class Mail letters, such as square greeting cards.
