The cost of a first-class stamp will rise to 42 cents starting May 12, the U.S. Postal Service said Monday.
According to the U.S. Postal Service, the price of the Forever stamp will go up at the same time, meaning those stamps can still be purchased for 41 cents but will remain good for first-class postage after the rate increase takes effect.
