USPS has announced new rates for anything shipped on or after January 21st, 2024... and the good news is lots of rates are actually getting cheaper!
Here's a summary of what's changing on January 21st:
Priority Mail Flat Rate discounts are back, with USPS adding this service back to the Connect eCommerce program. Rates will now be up to $2.34 cheaper than Commercial Pricing 🎉
Priority Mail continues to be the best service, getting up to $16.01 cheaper or staying the same price for packages that weigh less than 20 lb, depending on the size of your package and distance it's traveling 😃
Ground Advantage is getting up to 29 cents more expensive for packages that weigh less than 1 lb. For packages that weigh 1-20 lb it's mostly staying the same rate, though it's getting cheaper for shipments to zones 6-8.
Media Mail rates are increasing by up to 21 cents.
Signature Confirmation is increasing to $3.50.
International shipping rates are increasing around 5 to 7% on average. Simple Export Rate continues to be the cheapest way to ship internationally!
These rate changes are happening everywhere you can buy postage online, so there's no way to avoid them 😉
