U.S. Postal Service Stamp Prices Have Increased

January 28, 2019

Mailing a letter and some packages will now cost you a little bit more.

The United States Postal Service has increased rates of not only stamps but also flat rate boxes and envelopes and other mail services.

Postage for a one-ounce letter will increase from 50 cents to 55 cents, but the price of each additional ounce has decreased from 21 to 15 cents. The nickel increase for a first-class stamp is the largest percentage hike since a four cent increase in 1991.

    Still don’t know how to get a letter from here to California for less than 55 cents. No complaints here.

    Can they give an honest reason why?
    From my experience, the usps is the absolute worst delivery service. If it were a normal biz, they would have been done years ago.
