The temporary changes will affect prices on Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, USPS Ground Advantage and Parcel Select.

The Postal Service has filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission, or PRC, of a time-limited price change on certain products to better align its transportation costs with the market.

The planned change, which was approved by the Board of Governors on March 24, is an 8 percent increase that would affect base postage prices for Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, USPS Ground Advantage and Parcel Select.

No other products or services would be affected, including First-Class stamps.

Pending favorable review by the PRC, the change would go into effect at midnight Central on April 26 and remain in effect until midnight Central on Jan. 17, 2027.

More information can be found in the Postal Service’s March 25 news release.

The complete USPS price filing can be found on the PRC website. Price tables are also available on the Postal Explorer website.
