STAMPS INCREASING BY ONE CENT MAY 12
Forever Stamp will still get your letter delivered.
The price for a 1 oz. First-Class Mail stamp
will increase from 41 to 42
cents May 12.
Prices for other mailing services, such as
Standard Mail, Periodicals, Package Services
— including single-piece Parcel Post — and
Special Services also will change. The
average increase by class of mail is at or
below the rate of inflation as measured by
the Consumer Price Index.
“The Postal Service developed the Forever
Stamp for consumers to ease the transition
during price changes,” said PMG Jack Potter.
“We encourage Americans to buy Forever
Stamps now for 41 cents, because like the
name suggests, they are good forever.” The
price goes up to 42 cents May 12.
The Postal Service has sold 5 billion
Forever Stamps since the launch last April
and plans to have an additional 5 billion in
stock to meet the expected demand before the
May price change.
