USPS Expected to Raise Holiday Shipping Rates in October
UNITED STATES, AUG 9 – The U.S. Postal Service will raise prices temporarily on select parcel services to offset extra handling costs during the 2025 holiday peak, pending regulatory approval.
- On Aug. 8, 2025, the U.S. Postal Service filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission for a temporary price change for some package services during the 2025 peak holiday season, affecting Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, USPS Ground Advantage and Parcel Select.
- As a strategic part of the Delivering for America 10-year plan, the changes support the Postal Service’s mission by creating a revitalized organization capable of providing nationwide delivery at least six days a week.
- Pending PRC review, the temporary rates would take effect at a later date and include a $1.75 surcharge on Priority Mail Express Flat Rate Envelopes.
- Some groups argued the rate adjustments are too frequent and substantial, likely to spark complaints over rising costs, as the Postal Service files for a temporary price change.
- As part of its long-term transformation plan, the agency views these price changes as vital for funding network modernization, following a $3.1 billion third-quarter loss, Postal Service management said.
