USPS Announces Next Stamp Price Increase for Early 2024

Consumers and businesses should prepare for another round of stamp price increases as the United States Postal Service (USPS) has announced that the cost of mailing services, including stamps, will escalate beginning January 21, 2024. This development represents the fifth increment within a span of three years, reflecting the organization's efforts to cope with financial pressures and operational costs.

Impact on Postal Service Pricing

In the upcoming adjustment, the price of a First-Class Forever U.S. Postage Stamp will see a 2-cent elevation, vaulting from the current 66 cents to 68 cents. The adjustment encompasses not only stamps but also a range of other mailing services provided by USPS. As the national postal carrier grapples with inflation and declining mail volumes, these price hikes are part of its strategic measures to sustain its services.
