The cost of mailing a post card or a letter overseas may be going up. The U.S. Postal Service wants to raise the price for mailing postcards and international letters – but, they want to leave first-class ‘Forever’ stamps at their current price of 49 cents. Under a filing with the Postal Regulatory Commission, letters to international destinations would rise to $1.20 from $1.15. Postcards would rise to 35 cents from 34 cents. If approved, the changes would take effect on April 26th. The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses. It relies on the sale of postage, products and services to raise the revenues needed to pay for its operations.
