With stamp prices rising again, this is your last chance to get your 73 cent eternal stamp.
The US Postal Service (USPS) will raise first-class eternal stamp prices and other products on Sunday, July 13th.
“The rise in prices of services, which are dominant and competitive in the postal service market, will take effect this weekend,” Johnson said.
According to a May news release, the federal agency, the federal agency that oversees postal services, was considering accepting a five-cent spike on the stamp. The price increase was approved by the committee, according to Johnson.
“The Postal Service continues to take a reasonable and realistic approach to pricing, including careful implementation by new and existing pricing authorities, and letter prices remain significantly lower than other comparable foreign posts,” Johnson previously told USA Today.
Why are stamp costs rising?
In an April news release, USPS said the price additions “remained among the world’s most affordable ones” and “is necessary to achieve the financial stability required of the organization’s 10-year plan that the organization offers for America.”
The change is expected to raise the mailing service’s product prices by 7.4%, USPS wrote in the release.
When will stamp prices rise?
The USPS stamp price will rise on July 13th, 2025.
How much does the eternal stamp cost?
The price of Forever Stamps will rise from 73 cents to 78 cents, the USPS said.
