USPS Proposes New Prices for 2019
On October 10, 2018, The Postal Service™ filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) of proposed price changes to take effect January 27, 2019. The proposed prices include a five-cent increase in the price of a First-Class Mail® Forever®stamp from 50 cents to 55 cents. Metered letters would increase by three-cents.
The proposed prices would raise Mailing Services product prices approximately 2.5 percent, Priority Mail increasing 5.9 percent, and Priority Mail Express increasing 3.9 percent. While Mailing Services price increases are limited based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), Shipping Services prices are adjusted strategically, according to market conditions and the need to maintain affordable services for customers.
The proposed First Class price changes:
| Product | Current | Proposed |
| Letters (1 oz.) | 50 cents | 55 cents |
| Letters additional ounces | 21 cents | 15 cents |
| Letters (metered) | 47 cents | 50 cents |
PRC review and approval of the proposed prices are required before the scheduled January 27, 2019 implementation date.
