Additionally, Parcel Select price changes will take effect July 14.
The new rates will include an average 25 percent increase for Parcel Select, which allows high-volume shippers to enter packages for regional delivery through the USPS network.

The price adjustments are needed to achieve the financial stability sought by the Postal Service’s Delivering for America 10-year plan. USPS prices remain among the most affordable in the world.
