New Pricing Site on USPS.com

We are excited to offer a new site — usps.com/pricing — to provide an overview of the pricing changes that go into effect on Monday. The site consists of six easy, tabbed sections:

1.      Home – general overview and links to www.usps.com/ratecase, where you can find the updated the Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®), Postage Statements, Rate and Fees Reference, and many other materials to help prepare you for the pricing change.

2.      First-Class Mail® Shape-Based Pricing – overview of shape-based pricing.

3.      The Forever Stamp – purchase from the Postal store.

4.       Priority Mail® and Express Mail® – information about new flat-rate box price as well as dimensional-weight and balloon-rate pricing.

5.       International Shipping Simplified – overview of new international offerings.

6.      Changes to Extra Services – new pricing for Extra Services, like insurance.
