Stamps are getting more expensive this month when the U.S. Postal Service increases prices across its services.
The price of first-class Forever stamps will increase from 68 cents to 73 cents on July 14, an increase of more than 7%. Prices for all services will rise more than 7.5%.
The price hikes are part of the USPS 10-year “Delivering for America” plan intended to financially stabilize the Postal Service. Forever stamps cost 55 cents when the plan was introduced in 2021.
First class mail accounted for more than 30% of postal revenue in 2023 and the plan is expected to generate $44 billion in additional revenue by 2031.
Where to get stamps in Indianapolis
There are roughly 20 Post Office locations around the Indianapolis area where you can buy stamps, not including big box stores such as Walmart, Walgreens, Office Depot and Kroger. You can also purchase stamps online at USPS.com.
USPS changing prices on more than stamps
The additional-ounce price for single-piece letters will rise to 28 cents from 24 cents.
Post office box rental fees will not change. The cost of postal insurance would decrease by 10%.
The price of international postcards and international 1-ounce letters will increase by 10 cents each, from $1.55 to $1.65.

Philip Rivers fell one throw short of storybook ending in his couch-to-Colts return
He had one last throw left in that 44-year-old wing of his. For most of the afternoon, he’d been able to fool Father Time and frighten 68,771 Seattle Seahawks fans inside Lumen Field who’d come to bury Philip Rivers and, instead, watched him push their football team to the very brink of an impossible upset.
There had been a moment when it seemed Rivers might actually pull off the damn thing, too. That was with 1 minute and 55 seconds left in the game. The Colts led for so much of the game and were behind Seattle 15-13, but the ball was in the old man’s hands now. All day, he’d been careful and efficient. It got him a 13-3 lead at one point. Now, he needed to make a play.
And damned if he didn’t make a play.
Damned if he didn’t throw a 16-yard back-shoulder special to wide receiver Alec Pierce. Damned if that ball didn’t mean the Seahawks were now going to burn all of their timeouts because, in the NFL in 2025, just making it past midfield — as that throw did — means you’re in field goal range.
The Indianapolis Colts have cooled considerably as the season has progressed, going from the NFL’s best record to out of the playoff picture entering Week 15 action.
But one of today’s notable storylines is the return of quarterback Philip Rivers after five years away from the NFL. He’s on the Colts’ active roster as they prepare to play the Seattle Seahawks.
The 44-year-old was on Lumen Field hours before kickoff, taking mental reps.
Colts QB Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending injury last week, and backup Riley Leonard suffered a knee injury, though he remains on the active roster. With Brett Rypien the only other QB on their roster and list of available QBs lacking, the Colts called the last signal-caller to lead them in a playoff game (after the 2020 season).
His comeback has piqued the interest of a former Colts coach and players, his former teammates on the Chargers, former NFL quarterbacks and even those from outside football.
