The price of stamps could be increasing again as soon as Sunday. Here’s what you need to know
The Postal Service says higher rates will help offset rising costs and shrinking mail volume after a $9 billion loss in fiscal 2025.
- On Sunday, The USPS raised the price of The Forever Stamp from 78 cents to 82 cents, the latest in a series of increases intended to bolster the agency's finances.
- Mounting financial losses, including a $9 billion deficit in fiscal 2025, prompted the move as The Postal Regulatory Commission analysis showed operating expenses rising faster than revenue.
- Postmaster General David Steiner told House that raising first-class stamps to as high as 95 cents 'would largely solve our controllable loss,' warning the agency faces potential cash shortages.
- Lawmakers have criticized USPS for delivery delays, with Sen Josh Hawley launching an investigation into 'ongoing mail service failures plaguing Missouri' in June.
- Officials have signaled additional price increases are likely, though USPS confirms The Forever Stamp purchased before Sunday remains valid for customers.
