Shortylist - The United States Postal Service has announced that new shipping rates will take effect on January 18, 2026. These changes follow the agency’s formal filing with the Postal Regulatory Commission. They are part of its ongoing Delivering for America initiative, which is aimed at modernizing operations and achieving long-term financial stability.
The price of First-Class Mail stamps and other core letter services will remain unchanged. However, increases will be applied to shipping and parcel services. Priority Mail will rise by 6.6%, and Priority Mail Express will go up by 5.1%.
The newer Ground Advantage service, which replaced First-Class Package Service earlier this year, will increase by 7.8%. Parcel Select, which is typically used by high-volume commercial shippers and delivery partners, will see a 6% increase.
The USPS stated that these adjustments reflect current market conditions, including inflation. They also reflect the need to remain competitive in a logistics landscape dominated by private-sector giants such as UPS, FedEx, and Amazon.
