The U.S. Postal Service, also known as USPS, has been making exciting announcements of what to expect in 2025.

New York state residents will soon be able to get a new celebrity inspired item and take a look at their stamps for the new year. However, price changes will also occur in 2025 within the U.S. Postal Services.

Let's take a look into what we can expect from the U.S. Postal Services next year.

Price Changes Announced For U.S. Postal Service Out Of NY For 2025


On November 15, 2024, the U.S. Postal Service explained that there could be changes to prices in the new year. They mentioned,

"The Postal Service filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) for Shipping Services price changes to take effect January 19, 2025."

They also mentioned that the adjustments that were proposed were already approved this week by the Governors of the U.S. Postal Service.

Additional information about the U.S Postal Services claims that this change in 2025 would raise the services of shipping by over 3 percent for Priority Mail and Priority Mail express. 

Those who use USPS Ground Advantage would see almost a 4 percent increase in price along with over 9 percent of Parcel Select. News Week shared that the U.S Postal Service claims that pricing for the first class stamp will stay the same and will not change.

New York residents will be able to purchase an exclusive stamp of one of their favorite Hollywood stars next year and one of America's golden girls.

Betty White was admired by fans of all ages. Some of them knew her from "The Golden Girls" while others watched her on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and possibly "Hot In Cleveland". My family and I have probably watched every single episode of "The Golden Girls", I still watch it today.

Betty White was also admired for her love and dedication to helping animals. Fans are excited to soon be able to get a stamp of White from the U.S Postal Service. This stamp is just as bright and beautiful as White with a purple background and a picture of her smiling.

USA Today explained that this will consist of 20 stamps on a sheet. I love that there are postage stamps honoring other TV stars such as Rod Serling, Lucille Ball and more.

The U.S. Postal Services have shared information with us about their upcoming pricing, the new, Betty White stamp and will also give us a sneak peek of their designs for 2025.
