So you may want to plan to get those Christmas cards in the mail early this year.
In 2021, a 100 fee was assessed on parcels found in the mailstream that exceed the maximum mailable size limit (combined length and girth greater than 130 inches). The service will increase an average of just over 7.2 percent. At a meeting last week, Ronald Stroman, who serves on the board for the agency, called it a "strategically ill-conceived" idea that would result in "relatively minor savings," according to Government Executive.ĭeJoy, however, indicated he's moving forward anyway. First-Class Package Service, USPS’s method for packages under 15.999 oz, once again will see the greatest increase this year. But the proposal is unpopular among critics of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. The Postal Service is trying to get away from using air transportation, which it claims is expensive and unreliable due to factors like bad weather, limited cargo space and air traffic. However, its true impact may vary by location: A Washington Post analysis found that consumers in states like Nevada, Florida and Montana will start experiencing significant mail delays if the plan goes through.
The USPS says most first-class mail will still arrive within three days (or two days, if it's not traveling that far). This doesn't necessarily mean every single medical bill, 401(k) statement and Lands' End catalog will take a week to reach you. Instead of promising to get first-class mail from sender to receiver in one to three days, as it currently does, it could soon take up to five days to deliver depending on how far it has to go. 1, the USPS is planning to add time to the service standard for some first-class mail and periodicals. First-class postage will jump from $0.55 to $0.58. Stamp prices, for example, are going up on Aug.
The proposed rate increases are just the latest development out of the USPS, which has been shaking things up lately in a bid to reverse trends that have seen it lose $87 billion in the past 14 years.
