USPS RATE ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON

​​USPS RATE ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON

As we go into the Fall and Winter holiday mailing season, you may notice that the USPS parcel prices seem a bit higher than usual.  This year, from October 6th through January 19, 2025, the USPS will be raising their rates for domestic commercial and retail packages (USPS Ground Advantage (replaces First-Class Packages), Priority Mail, and Priority Mail Express).  After January 19, 2025, prices will revert to their pre-holiday season levels.  International mail and domestic First-Class mail will not be affected by the changes.

To estimate your possible costs for sending a package during the 2024 holiday season, take a look at the USPS rate-fold for commercial and retail pricing:  Time-Limited 2024 - Notice123 PDF
