Release Date
Price increase for stamps starts July 10, 2022.

The HFC Mailroom is providing a courtesy notification to HFC employees that the U.S. Postal Service has announced several rate increases, effective Sunday, July 10.

The most common first-class postage rates and their increases are shown below:

  • Single-piece letter (first ounce) will go from 58¢ to 60¢.
  • Single-piece flat* (first ounce) will go from $1.16 to $1.20.
  • Each additional ounce (letters and flats) will go from 20¢ to 24¢
  • Postcards will go from 40¢ to 44¢.
  • First Class International Letter (first ounce, including Canada) from $1.30 to $1.40.

Forever Stamp

You can buy the Forever Stamp at the price of 58¢ each through Saturday, July 9, and use them indefinitely.

The Forever Stamp is a special non-denominated stamp that was issued to save postal customers time and money, especially as First-Class Mail prices continue to change. The Forever Stamp always represents a one ounce First-Class Mail price. When you buy a Forever Stamp, you pay the current First-Class Mail one ounce price. The Forever Stamp will always cover the First-Class Mail one ounce price, no matter how many times the price of the stamp changes in the future. Once purchased, these stamps can be used indefinitely.
