"The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is planning to increase the price of shipping. The good news is, the changes won't affect your holiday packages and won't raise the price of stamps. The changes go into effect next year on January 18, pending a review by the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC). The move will raise prices approximately 6.6% for Priority Mail, 5.1% for Priority Mail Express, 7.8% for USPS Ground Advantage, and 6% for Parcel Select."
"The price hike is aimed at generating revenue for the ailing U.S. Postal Service. It's part of its 10-year "modernization and transformation plan" to make the agency financially sustainable over the long term, and able to continue delivering mail and packages at least six days a week. It comes as USPS posted a $9 billion loss for the 2025 fiscal year-which is actually a better financial outcome than last year, when it lost $9.5 billion."
Inflation has raised consumer prices, and the U.S. Postal Service will increase shipping rates effective January 18, pending Postal Regulatory Commission review. Priority Mail rates will rise about 6.6%, Priority Mail Express about 5.1%, USPS Ground Advantage about 7.8%, and Parcel Select about 6%; stamp prices and holiday package costs will not change. The increase aims to generate revenue under a 10-year "modernization and transformation plan" after a $9 billion loss in fiscal 2025, compared with a $9.5 billion loss the prior year.
