The United States Postal Service, which receives its funding only through sales of stamps and its other services, officially raised the price of a domestic stamp to 46 cents on Sunday.
The post office has tried layoffs, plant closings, and rate hikes to save their business, but they continue to be beaten by technological advancements, and by Congress.
Digital Journal reported that the price of a postcard also increased by one cent to 33 cents. The new Global Forever Stamp for first-class mail sent anywhere will allow customers to mail a one-ounce letter worldwide for $1.10.
Packages using Priority Mail and Parcel Post, now known as Standard Post, now come with free tracking, according to Northville Patch.
