USPS Postage Increase & USIO P&H:
(In-Part): "The price of a First-Class Mail Forever stamp is set to rise from 78 cents to 82 cents, effective July 12, 2026.
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has filed a proposal with the Postal Regulatory Commission to increase the cost of a first-class stamp by 4 cents, raising it from 78 cents to 82 cents. This change, if approved, will take effect on July 12, 2026 and represents an overall 4.8% increase in mailing service prices. The additional-ounce price for single-piece letters will remain at 29 cents, while other products such as domestic and international postcards and letters will also see modest increases.
In summary, stamp prices are going up in mid-2026, and customers should plan accordingly for mailing letters and postcards after July 12, 2026." e.o.m.
