US Postal Service Suggests New Prices for 2025

https://www.newsweek.com/us-postal-service-suggests-new-prices-2025-1987373

he United States Postal Service (USPS) has announced a proposal for new postage rates set to take effect in early 2025, citing the need to stay competitive and increase revenue.

If approved, the change would raise Shipping Services prices by approximately 3.2 percent for Priority Mail service and Priority Mail Express service, 3.9 percent for USPS Ground Advantage, and 9.2 percent for Parcel Select, according to the announcement on the service's website.

Concerning the proposed increases for next year, the USPS filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) for Shipping Services price changes to take effect on January 19, 2025. The proposed adjustments were approved by the governors of the USPS this week, according to the announcement.

"As we previously announced, the Postal Service will not be raising prices in January for our Mailing Services," the USPS added, confirming that the price of a first-class stamp will remain unchanged.

DeJoy is still there because President Biden wants his there or, being charitable, is indifferent to him being there.
