It will cost 3 cents more to mail a letter starting Sunday.

The U.S. Postal Service is raising rates effective at 12:01 a.m. local time, including raising the price of a first-class stamp to 32 cents.

The price to mail a post card goes up a penny, to 20 cents.

But the extra charge for heavy letters is unchanged. That means while the first ounce of a letter will cost 32 cents, each extra ounce will still mean a 23-cent charge.
