The U.S. Postal Service is proposing increases for mailing letters and postcards—but leaving first-class “Forever” stamps at their present 49 cents.
Under a filing with the Postal Regulatory Commission, letters to international destinations would rise from $1.15 to $1.20. Postcards would rise from 34 cents to 35 cents
The increases being proposed would become effective on April 26 if approved by the commission.
On first-class mail, every ounce over 1 ounce would cost an additional 22 cents, up from 21 cents. And letters to all international destinations would go from $1.15 to $1.20.
The Postal Service says the price increases are the latest in a series of steps “to achieve financial stability.”
