The cost of a first class stamp is going up again. On May 2, the price will rise to 42 cents, up a penny. It was just last May when the cost of a first class stamp went up two cents.
The price of the Forever stamp will go up at the same time. But until then, those stamps can still be had for 41cents and will remain good after the rate increase. The post office has sold 5 billion Forever stamps since they were introduced last April. It's planning to have another 5 billion in stock to meet the expected demand before the price change.
Charges for other services are also changing. But specifics on prices for Priority and Express Mail will be announced later.
