Postal Rate Increase Goes Into Effect May 14. Are You Ready?
The U.S. Postal Service will be increasing first class postage and introducing new shape-based pricing and dozens of rule changes that will affect the cost and way your business sends mail.
Some of the changes include:
- New postages costs based on size, shape and weight, rather than weight, as in the past.
- A new “Forever Stamp” that sells at the first-class, one-ounce rate and which can be used for any first class, one-ounce letter, even if a rate change has occurred.
- Reduced additional-ounce rate for First-Class Mail®.
- Significant initiatives to reduce Undeliverable as Addressed Mail, including changes to address change fees and enhancements to software used for presorted mailing.
- Presorting will continue for large mailings.
- New flat rates for Priority Mail® envelopes and boxes and Express Mail® envelopes. Prices will remain the same for these mailing on packages up to 70 pounds, regardless of destination.
