The cost of a Forever stamp has increased to 78 cents, up from the previous price of 73 cents.
The Postal Regulatory Commission announced the proposed price increase in May, with the effective date of July 13.
The cost of a Forever stamp in 2012 was 45 cents, and there have been price increases nearly every year since then, except for 2015 and 2020.
The USPS governors believe the new rates will keep the Postal Service competitive while providing needed revenue.
The USPS implemented service standard refinements, including setting turnaround volume for First-Class Mail and USPS Ground Advantage at a two or three-day service standard and increasing the reach of two-, three-, and four-day service standards.
