Price of stamp to go up . . . again

The price of sending mail is about to go up, again.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) announced Friday it might increase stamp prices in 2024 for the second year in a row, citing pressures from inflation.

If approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission, the changes would take effect Jan. 21, 2024.

New rates include a 2-cent increase for First-Class Mail Forever stamp, among other proposed changes.

If the price changes are approved by the governors of the Postal Service, service prices would increase by approximately 2 percent, the USPS said in its announcement.
