While the price for mailing a U.S. First-Class letter has risen to new highs this summer and although feeling a bit of sticker shock at this point is understandable, it's important to remember that the USPS 1-ounce First-Class letter remains a relative bargain in the postal world. Many other countries, even much smaller ones, are paying close to or even higher postage rates than we do here in the USA.
