A 2-cent rate increase for a postage stamp was approved Tuesday by the Postal Rate Commission, AP reports (via Editor & Publisher).
Under the recommendation, the cost of a first-class stamp will go from 37 cents to 39 cents and the postcard rate will rise a penny to 24 cents. Presorted advertising mail of 2 ounces will go up 1.1 cents to 21.4 cents.
The Postal Service had requested a 5.4 percent increase in all postage rates, but the rate commission altered some of the proposals. The matter now goes back to the Board of Governors, which can agree to the commission’s changes or ask for reconsideration.
