Temporary Price Changes Take Effect
Source: USPS, October 6, 2025
The Postal Service implemented temporary price changes for some package services for the holiday shipping season on Oct. 5.
The adjustments will affect prices on Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, USPS Ground Advantage and Parcel Select.
The changes will remain in place until midnight Central on Sunday, Jan. 18.
The changes will help cover extra handling costs and bring prices for the Postal Service’s commercial and retail customers in line with competitive practices.
As part of the Postal Service’s 10-year strategic plan, the temporary changes will support the creation of a revitalized organization capable of achieving its 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.
The changes affect both retail and commercial mail.
