Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has said more price hikes are needed with possibly more coming in January 2023, if approved by the postal regulatory commission. In January, the Postal Service raised the price of Priority Mail nearly 3%, and more than 4% percent for Priority Mail Express. This isn't the first time the postal service has raised rates this year. The biggest change, in my opinion, is the change in the non-machinable surcharge, going up from 0.20 to 0.30. Every extra ounce after that is an extra 0.20 which has stayed the same from beginning 2021. These increases are designed to help meet that goal. A 1oz Forever stamp has gone up 3ct from 0.55 to 0.58.
Postal administrators say it's ‘Delivering for America plan’ published in March 2021 is a commitment to transform the Postal Service from an organization in financial and operational crisis to one that is self-sustaining and high performing. International letters will go up ten cents from a $1.30 to a $1.40. Postcards will go up 4 cents from 40 cents to 44 cents.
Each additional ounce goes up from 20 cents to 24 cents. Additional ounces of material in single-piece letters continue to cost an additional 20. Metered mail will go up 4 cents from 53 cents to 57 cents. The price of a stamp went up by 3 cents, effective August 29, 2021. The price of one ounce metered letters also goes up. The cost of a forever stamp will go up two cents from 58 cents to 60 cents. Postal officials said it relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.īetween inflation and the pandemic, the Postal Service needs more money. Postal Service is not only raising the price on how much it costs to buy a forever stamp but the price of sending metered letters, postcards, and international letters as well. BALTIMORE - Anyone needing to buy stamps might want to buy them before July 10th when the price of a forever stamp goes up from 58 cents to 60 cents.
