Stamp prices are going to be raised on May 14th
Americans will pay 2 cents more to mail a first-class letter beginning May 14, but they will be able to buy a new type of stamp that could shield them from future price increases.
U.S. Postal Service governors approved a plan Monday to increase some rates, including raising the price of a first-class stamp to 41 cents. It also authorized the creation of a "forever stamp," which can be used indefinitely regardless of rate changes.
