Hello there,
The United States Postal Service has announced upcoming changes that may affect sellers who ship with USPS. The USPS will update rates for their First-Class Package Service, and will also make slight modifications to their Priority Mail International services. These changes will go into effect on August 28.
+What are the rate changes?+
The USPS First-Class Package Service rates for packages that weigh 1-3 ounces will increase. The USPS retail rate will increase from $2.45 to $2.62.
+What else is changing?+
The USPS has also modified their Priority Mail International services. Below are details on these changes:
- Priority Mail International packages sent to any country may now be tracked by sellers and buyers.
- All Priority Mail International services containing merchandise are now insured by USPS against loss, damage, or missing contents up to $200 at no additional charge.
- Shippers in the US will now pay return postage fees for undeliverable packages sent via Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelopes and Small Flat Rate Priced Boxes. Previously, when a foreign postal administration returned undeliverable-as-addressed Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelopes and Small Flat Rate Priced Boxes to a U.S. sender, there were no return charges.
