The United States Postal Service price changes, announced in Fall 2019, officially took effect on January 26, 2020.
The new prices, approved by the Governors of the Postal Service, raised Mailing Services product prices approximately 1.9 percent. Shipping Services prices vary by product.
The new prices include no increase in the price of a First-Class Mail Forever stamp, which remains at 55 cents. The single-piece letter additional ounce price remains at 15 cents. The price of postcard stamps is still at 35 cents, and 1-ounce flats continue at $1.
According to the USPS press release, "The Governors believe these new rates will keep the Postal Service competitive while providing the agency with needed revenue."
The complete Postal Service price filings with prices for all products can be found on the PRC site under the Daily Listings section at prc.gov/dockets/daily. The price change tables are also available on the Postal Service’s Postal Explorer website at pe.usps.com/PriceChange/Index.
