Postal Service may be limited to one price increase per year

  • The Postal Service is falling into pattern raising stamp prices each January and July. But its regulator is considering limits to those price increases.
  • A proposed rule from the Postal Regulatory Commission would cap USPS to only raising prices once per year.
  • The regulator gave USPS the freedom to set mail prices higher than the rate of inflation in 2020 when the agency was at risk of running out of cash.
  • USPS is planning to set the price of a first-class Forever stamp to 78 cents next month.
