USPS Implements Temporary 8% Increase on Key Shipping Prices

The U.S. Postal Service filed a time-limited, 8% price increase with the Postal Regulatory Commission that will raise base rates for Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, and Parcel Select. The change takes effect April 26 and remains in place through January 17, 2027, aimed at better aligning transportation costs with market conditions while preserving the universal service obligation. First-Class stamps are not affected, and the PRC will review the filing before it goes into effect; USPS notes the increase is still lower than many competitors’ fuel surcharges.
