The USPS recently announced their proposed changes to mailing services pricing. Pending approval of the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC), mailing services price changes would go in effect on July 13, 2025. The new proposed rates include a 5-cent increase on the price of First-Class Mail® letters. On average, the proposed changes raise mailing services prices 7.4%. Special services products will also be affected by the proposed rates.
