Postal Service hikes letter rate to 13 cents on Wednesday
The U.S. Postal Service will raise a first class letter to 13 cents with 11 cents for each additional ounce, a postcard to 9 cents, and parcel post up about 10.1 percent, while a court stay preserves the changes amid ongoing legal review. The move comes despite a prior ruling that the rate increase was illegal due to missing governor approval.
