USPS has announced price changes for 2019, including a 5-cent increase in the price of a First-Class Mail Forever stamp.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

The Postal Service has announced price changes to take effect next year.<\/p>\n

The USPS governors approved the proposed changes, which will be reviewed by the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) before they take effect Jan. 27. The governors believe these new rates will keep the Postal Service competitive while providing the agency with needed revenue.<\/p>\n

The changes, if approved by the PRC, include a 5-cent increase in the price of a First-Class Mail Forever stamp from 50 cents to 55 cents.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The single-piece additional ounce price will be reduced to 15 cents, so a 2-ounce stamped letter, such as a typical wedding invitation, will cost less to mail, decreasing from 71 cents to 70 cents.<\/p>\n

The changes include adjustments to other Mailing Services products, as well as Shipping Services products.<\/p>\n

Here are the current and proposed prices:<\/p>\n
