The United States Postal Service (USPS) filed a notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) proposing new mailing and shipping services pricing to take effect January 21, 2018. The PRC has reviewed and approved the proposed pricing changes.
Notable mailing services price changes include:
* First-Class Forever stamps from 49 to 50 cents

Generally speaking, mailing services pricing will rise on average approximately 1.9%, Priority Mail (shipping services) pricing will increase on average approximately 3.9% and Priority Mail Retail pricing will rise on average approximately 0.8%.
No changes were made to the First-Class letter additional ounce rate staying at $0.21 as well as outbound international letters at $1.15 each.
