USPS Announces No Stamp Price Changes for January 2025
A recommendation by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy not to raise prices in January 2025 for market-dominant products — including First-Class Mail — has been approved by the Postal Service governors.
Accordingly, the price of a stamp to mail a 1-once single-piece First-Class Mail letter will not increase.
The Postal Service’s operational strategies are designed to boost service reliability, cost efficiency and overall productivity.
“Our strategies are working, and projected inflation is declining,” DeJoy said. “Therefore, we will wait until at least July before proposing any increases for market-dominant services.”
USPS remains committed to continued cost saving measures and to keeping its products and services affordable. Only a handful of countries have a lower price for a domestic single-piece letter.
The Postal Service continues to deliver on the tenets of the Delivering for America 10-year plan, while fulfilling its public service mission — to provide a nationwide, integrated network for the delivery of mail and packages at least six days a week — in a cost-effective and financially sustainable manner over the long term.
