Postal Rates to Rise

The United States Postal Service filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission Friday of a temporary price change to take effect October 18th. The planned temporary price adjustments are in response to increased expenses and heightened demand for online shopping package volume due to the coronavirus pandemic and expected holiday ecommerce. As a result of these changing market conditions, the Postal Service is planning a time-limited price increase on all commercial domestic competitive package volume from October 18th until December 27th. Retail prices and international products will be unaffected. The increases would raise prices on commercial domestic competitive parcels – Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, First-Class Package Service, Parcel Select, and Parcel Return Service. First class stamps for letters will be priced from 55¢.
