USPS filed a notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission asking for the price adjustment for certain shipping products. Shipping price increases will take effect Jan. 18, 2026. There are no increases planned for mailing services and the price of First Class stamps will remain the same. Stamp prices rose from 73 cents to 78 cents in July. In a statement, USPS said prices for shipping services are determined by market conditions, while mailing service prices are set by the Consumer Price Index. “The governors believe these new rates will keep the Postal Service competitive while providing the organization with needed revenue," USPS said.
