If favorably reviewed, you'll have to start paying more for your mail services on July 9. These higher rates will include a three-cent increase in the price of a First Class Mail Forever stamp from 63 cents to 66 cents.
"As operating expenses fueled by inflation continue to rise and the effects of a previously defective pricing model are still being felt, these price adjustments are needed to provide the Postal Service with much needed revenue to achieve the financial stability sought by its Delivering for America 10-year plan," the agency explained.
The Postal Service is also planning to simplify its shipping options the same day. Starting July 9, customers will no longer be able to choose from several different shipping methods. Instead the USPS is set to roll out its newshipping service, which will incorporate three former ground shipping options: USPS Retail Ground, Parcel Select Ground, and First-Class Package Service.
"At launch, USPS Ground Advantage would provide a simple, reliable and more affordable way to ship packages up to 70 pounds in two-to-five business days," the agency said.. The agency announced the first-day-of-issue dates and locations for several new stamps that will become available to customers through the end of the year.
