Less than a year after raising the prices of Forever stamps, the U.S. Postal Service is hiking them up once again.
The USPS said Wednesday that it filed notice for a two-cent increase that will bring the price of first-class stamps to 60 cents a piece. The agency previously raised the price from 55 cents to its current 58 cents in August 2021.
