Postage costs will increase on January 21st

Another postage rate increase is just around the corner.

The price for a First-Class Forever U.S. Postage Stamp will increase from 66 cents to 68 cents starting January 21st, 2024.

The prices for domestic postcard stamps will also increase by two cents from 51 cents to 53 cents.

USPS Ground Advantage prices will increase by 5.4 percent, Priority Mail service prices will increase by 5.7 percent, and Priority Mail Express service prices will increase by 5.9 percent.

There will be no change to the additional-ounce price, which will remain at 24 cents.

“As inflationary pressures on operating expenses continue and the effects of a previously defective pricing model are still being felt, these price adjustments are needed to provide the Postal Service with much needed revenue to achieve the financial stability sought by its Delivering for America 10-year plan,” said the Postal Service.
