Increased Stamp Prices

From News Nation:

“US Postal Service rates to increase in August”

A major change coming in August for mailers who use the United States Postal Service (USPS). The Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) has approved a request by USPS to increase its rates. The Postal Service officials hope the new prices will help keep them competitive but also bring in much-needed revenue. The new rates will take effect on August 29, 2021.

PRODUCT                 OLD PRICE        NEW PRICE

STAMP                                55¢         58¢

FLAT SINGLE-PIECE          $1.00     $1.16

PRESORT LETTERS            40.4¢     43.3¢

MONEY ORDERS               $1.30     $1.45

RETURN RECEIPT              $2.85     $3.05

CERTIFIED MAIL                $3.60     $3.75

This is the second rate change with USPS to happen in 2021. The previous rate increase went into effect in January.

^ The USPS continues to increase their prices while not providing good, efficient service. Doesn’t seem right to me. ^
