The Postal Service filed notice today with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) for shipping services price changes to take effect July 13. The proposed adjustments were approved by the USPS Board of Governors this week. 

The changes would raise domestic shipping services prices approximately 6.3 percent for Priority Mail service, 7.1 percent for USPS Ground Advantage and 7.6 percent for Parcel Select. Prices are not changing for Priority Mail Express service.

Although mailing services price increases are based on the consumer price index, shipping services prices are primarily adjusted according to market conditions. The USPS governors believe these new rates will keep the Postal Service competitive while providing the agency with needed revenue.

As part of the 10-year comprehensive strategic Delivering for America plan, these proposed changes will support the Postal Service in creating 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, just as the U.S. Congress has intended. 

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.arkcase.com/portal/filings. The Competitive Products filing is Docket No. CP2025-7. The price tables are also available on the Postal Service’s Postal Explorer website at pe.usps.com/PriceChange/Index.

• Postal Service continues to offer great value on affordable shipping with reliable service.

• No price changes are being made to Priority Mail Express, Domestic Extra Services, International Ancillary Services, or International Products.

• Pricing actions are part of a balanced approach under Delivering for America, the Postal Service’s 10-year strategic plan for achieving financial sustainability and service excellence.

• Rate changes will support the $40 billion in investments in people, technology and infrastructure and continue the modernization and improvement of the Postal Service’s operations and customer experience.
