Postage Stamps Getting More Expensive

Posted: Updated:

By Julie Katz - email

U.S. - Sending snail mail is about to get more expensive because the price of stamps is going up.

The U.S. Postal Service is raising the price of first class stamps to 46 cents, which is a one cent jump.

Postcard postage is also going up a penny to 33 cents a stamp.

The new prices will go into effect in January.

This comes as the Postal Service faces a major budget crisis.
