The U.S. Postal Service is increasing the price of a Forever stamp starting Sunday, according to reports from Yahoo News and CBS News. The change affects the cost of a first-class stamp that is intended to remain valid for first-class mail regardless of future rate increases. CBS News reports that the price of a first-class Forever stamp has risen about 41% since 2021. Postal officials have also indicated they want stamp prices to increase further, suggesting additional rate adjustments may be forthcoming beyond this week’s change. While both outlets focus on the upcoming price increase and the stamp’s current affordability trend, they do not present detailed breakdowns of the new price in the excerpts provided. The update reflects continuing changes to USPS postage rates as the agency manages operating costs and funding needs. Customers who mail letters are expected to pay the updated rate for stamps purchased or used on or after Sunday, depending on USPS implementation details.
