Price of stamps up by five cents each

Stamps increased by five cents each as new year began. The U.S. Postal Service proposed the changes last October and were approved. The increase from 50 cents to 55 cents is the largest increase in stamp costs since 1991.


But while the first-class stamps will be more expensive, the USPS says it will lower the price per additional ounce for letters, decreasing from 21 cents to 15 cents.

It is also more expensive to ship items. Priority Mail flat rate prices have increased. A medium flat rate box has increased to $14.35, up from $13.65.

The new prices went into effect on Jan. 27, 2019.
