USPS Raises Price of First-Class 'Forever' Stamps to 49 Cents

USPS(WASHINGTON) — If you’re mailing a first-class letter on Monday, it’s going to cost you slightly more.

On Jan. 22, the U.S. Postal Service raised the price of a first-class “Forever” stamp to 49 cents. That’s up 2 cents from last April, when the agency dropped the price to 47 cents.

Customers sending postcards won’t be affected by the hike, however. USPS says those stamps will remain at 34 cents a piece.
