华盛顿，4月9日（路透社）—— 资金紧张的美国邮政管理局（USPS）周四表示，拟将一级邮件邮票价格从78美分上调至82美分，自7月12日起生效。
这项提案必须经邮政监管委员会批准，将使整体邮寄服务价格上调4.8%。美国邮政管理局此前警告称，其现金可能最早在2月耗尽。

本周早些时候，美国邮政管理局获得邮政监管委员会批准，将对优先邮件和包裹递送实施临时性8%价格上调，自4月26日起生效，以应对不断上涨的运输和燃油成本。该局计划该附加费实施至次年1月17日。

自2007年以来，美国邮政管理局已累计净亏损1180亿美元，其最盈利的一级邮件业务量已降至20世纪60年代末以来的最低水平。该局2月公布当季亏损12.5亿美元。
该委员会还单独批准了美国邮政管理局从周五起暂停缴纳雇主养老金的计划，这将每两周节省2亿美元现金，截至9月30日累计可节省25亿美元。
路透社此前报道，美国邮政管理局与亚马逊达成一项协议，亚马逊将每年至少通过美国邮政管理局递送10亿个包裹，占其去年包裹总量的80%。

3月，美国邮政总局局长戴维·施泰纳表示，该局正在聘请重组顾问以应对日益严重的财务困境。
施泰纳希望能够上调当前78美分的一级邮件邮票价格，并认为美国人愿意为每封信支付90或95美分——而世界上许多国家的邮资已达2美元以上。

WASHINGTON, April 9 (Reuters) – The cash-strapped U.S. Postal Service said on Thursday it wants to raise the price of first-class mail stamps to 82 cents from 78 cents effective July 12.
The proposal, which must be approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission, would raise overall mailing services prices by 4.8%. USPS has warned it could run out of cash as soon as February.

Earlier this week, USPS won approval from the Postal Regulatory Commission for a temporary 8% price hike for priority mail and package deliveries, effective April 26, to deal with rising transportation and fuel costs. USPS plans for the surcharge to be in effect through January 17.

The service has reported net losses of $118 billion since 2007 as first-class mail, its most profitable product, has fallen to its lowest volume since the late 1960s. USPS in February reported a quarterly loss of $1.25 billion.
The commission separately approved USPS’s plan to suspend employer pension contributions starting Friday, which will conserve $200 million in cash every two weeks, or $2.5 billion through September 30.
Reuters also reported USPS struck a deal with Amazon that will see the retailer use the Postal Service for at least 1 billion packages a year, or 80% of its volume last year.

In March, U.S. Postmaster General David Steiner said the Postal Service was hiring restructuring advisers to help address its mounting financial troubles.
Steiner wants to be able to raise prices over the current 78 cents for first-class mail and thinks Americans would be willing to pay 90 or 95 cents per letter, when much of the world pays $2 or more.
