The U.S. Postal Service proposed temporary rate adjustments for the 2022 peak season between October 2, 2022, and January 22, 2023. Similar to the previous years, these adjustments are meant to anticipate shipping demand during the holiday season and ensure successful handling of the high package volume. The temporary rates will impact specific mail classes for shippers – Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, First-Class Package Service and Parcel Select.
Listed below are the increases for both commercial rates and retail rates. As a Stamps.com customer, you can access commercial rates usually reserved for the larger shippers, regardless of your shipping volume.
