Míra USPS in recent years
The USPS has made several costs in recent years, the WPRI report said. The report added that the cost of the Forever marks is constantly increasing because in 2012 it was 45 cents.
Although in 2015 and 2020 there was no increase in rates forever, in 2023 and 2024, the USPS announced dual hikes. Jump from 68 to 73 cents last summer meant the largest one -off increase since 2019.
The USPS decided to increase the rates in January 2025, according to the plan of a multi -phase plan proposed by the agency in September 2024 to perform five price increases for stamps by 2027, from July and then in January and July, added WPRI.
USPS said that these regulations need to be made to fulfill the “legal obligation of the agency to be financially self -sufficient”.
It remains uncertain whether the long -term price strategy created during the period of former President Joe Biden will continue during Trump’s administration. At the beginning of this year, President Donald Trump proposed several changes for USPS. Shortly thereafter, General Postmaster Louis Dejoy offered his resignation.
Despite rising prices and UPS uncertainty, it insists that postage in America is convenient. “USPS prices remain among the most accessible in the world,” the agency repeated in April.
