The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) increases the price of a First-Class “Forever” stamp beginning Sunday, moving it to 82 cents. Multiple outlets report the change takes effect July 12 and is a four-cent increase from the prior rate. The adjustment is part of a pattern of recent postage hikes: one source says it is the sixth time USPS raises the Forever stamp price in five years. In addition, CBS News reports the Forever stamp price has risen 41% since 2021. Postal officials have also indicated they want additional price increases, though the timing and magnitude of any future changes are not specified in the reports provided. The Forever stamp remains valid for first-class mail regardless of future price increases, but the new rate affects the current purchase price.
