Forever Stamp Just Got More Expensive | Spokane News

Your birthday cards just got more expensive—again. The U.S. Postal Service raised the price of a Forever stamp from 78 cents to 82 cents, a 5% jump that adds up fast: a book of 20 now costs $16.40, up from $15.60. Prices are climbing across the board, including postcards and international letters, with an average hike of 4.8%. Good news: existing stamps still work—they don’t expire. The Postal Service says it’s a necessary move to cover rising costs and fulfill its universal service obligation, a responsibility that requires delivering mail everywhere. They’ve been steadily increasing prices since 2018—from 50 cents to 60 cents, then 73 to 78 cents, and now this. It’s a familiar pattern for essential services: adapt or risk shutting down.
