(CNN) — If you have mail to send out, get ready to shell out an extra penny. The price of postage increases by a cent starting Sunday.

First class stamps will now cost you 46 cents, while postcard prices go up to 33 cents.

Sending mail out of the country will cost you even more change.

International mailing will now cost $1.10, which is up from 85 cents to Canada and Mexico and $1.05 to other international destinations.

The price increases come as the U.S. Postal Service continues to struggle financially.
