Mailing Just Got More Expensive: Forever Stamps See Biggest Price Increase Ever
The cost of a stamp is up 10 percent as the U.S. Postal Service tries to offset billions of dollars in losses. Some packages will cost more to send too.
Forever Stamps have gotten a lot more expensive, relatively speaking.
The price of a first-class Forever Stamp went up a nickel Sunday, from 50 cents to 55 cents. That 10 percent increase is the largest single price jump in the history of the U.S. Postal Service,. The Postal Service has been running a multibillion-dollar deficit for years, and the price increase is an attempt to contend with an America that just doesn't send as many letters as it used to.
