The USPS (United States Postal Service) has submitted new price requests to the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC), and the new rates will go into effect on July 9th, 2023. These rates are still under review, but the USPS typically gets what they ask for.
In similar fashion to the last postage increase, the price of a first-class stamp will be raised by three cents again. Below are the other notable changes that will have an impact on some of the other products LetterStream has to offer:
- First Class Letters (1 oz.) are going up, from $.63 up to $.66 cents
- First Class Flats are going up, from $1.26 to $1.35
- Certified Mail is going up, from $4.15 to $4.35
- Certified ERR is going up, from $2.10 to $2.20
- International Letters (1 oz.) are going up, from $1.45 up to $1.50
- Extra Ounces staying at $.24
- Registered Mail is going up, from $24.35 to $25.90
