- No price increases for USPS Ground Advantage, Priority Mail,
or Priority Mail Express.
- U.S. Postal Service continues to offer a great value in
shipping with our reliable service to the American people.
WASHINGTON, May 10, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Today, the U.S. Postal Service filed notice with
the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) for Parcel Select price
changes to take effect July 14, 2024.
The proposed adjustments were approved by the Postal Service
Governors this week.
If favorably reviewed by the Commission, the new rates include
an average 25-percent increase for Parcel Select service. Parcel
Select is a shipping solution for high volume shippers to enter
packages for regional delivery through the U.S. Postal Service's
network.
As a strategic part of the Delivering for America 10-year
plan, these proposed changes will support the Postal Service in
creating a revitalized organization capable of achieving our public
service mission – providing a nationwide, integrated network for
the delivery of mail and packages at least six days a week – in a
cost-effective and financially sustainable manner over the long
term, just as the U.S. Congress has intended.
The Postal Service continues to offer USPS Ground
Advantage – a ground shipping solution that provides a simple,
reliable, and affordable way to ship packages across the
continental U.S. with 2-5 day certain delivery based on distance.
USPS Ground Advantage offers $100
insurance included in the price, as well as free pickup on the
carrier's route. No price increases are being proposed for USPS
Ground Advantage.
The PRC will review the changes before they are scheduled to
take effect. The complete Postal Service price filing, with prices
for all products, can be found on the PRC website under the Daily
Listings section
at prc.gov/dockets/daily. The Mailing
Services filing is Docket No. CP2024-295.The price tables are also
available on the Postal Service's Postal Explorer website
at pe.usps.com/PriceChange/Index.
