The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) for a temporary price increase on certain package services during the 2024 peak holiday season. The changes, effective October 6 through January 19, 2025, aim to cover additional handling costs associated with the busy shipping period.

The price hike, approved by USPS governors, will impact domestic commercial and retail parcels sent through Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, and USPS Ground Advantage. No other services will be affected.

This seasonal adjustment supports USPS's "Delivering for America" 10-year plan, which aims to ensure cost-effective nationwide mail delivery. Full pricing details are available on the PRC and USPS Postal Explorer websites.

If you don’t like it use another shipping company, drive it yourself or stop shipping 💩. Either way bonuses will be made! Thanks Dejoy
