They keep increasing and increasing in price.That is the bad news,however the good news is that a Forever Stamp will be available soon for the customers,meaning that you can mail with that stamp no matter how the price is.Read all about it at link.

I understand the price increase and I think it's warranted. With email and free long distance through cell phones and lower phone rates, we, as Americans, are mailing alot less letters. I probably mail only a couple physical letters per month. I now pay my bills through my online bank bill pay system. The usps is losing alot of business because of these reasons.

Lucky you, 41 cents. A stamp for a normal letter costs 55 dollar cents here.

Never use them anymore though.

and we in Canada pay 52 cents CDN for a regular letter to mail anywhere in Canada!
It was raised 1 penny in January fro 51 cents.

so still 41c seems to be a bargain. Well better than 52 cents.
