If favorably reviewed by the PRC, the new prices will include no increase in the price of a First-Class Mail Forever stamp, which would remain at 55 cents.

The Governors believe these new rates will keep the Postal Service competitive while providing the agency with needed revenue.

Although Mailing Services price increases are based on the Consumer Price Index, Shipping Services prices are primarily adjusted according to market conditions. For example, Priority Mail Express would increase 3.5 percent and Priority Mail would increase 4.1 percent, on average. Shipping Services price increases vary by product. The proposed prices, approved by the Governors of the Postal Service, would raise Mailing Services product prices approximately 1.9 percent.
