USPS announced new rates - UPDATE

Posted by Cindy Allen on Jul 2nd 2025

USPS announced rate changes for domestic services starting on July 13th, 2025. This year's changes are all over the place, with some Priority Mail shipments increasing by up to 51%...

After implementation, we will re-evaluate our flat rate $13 shipping charge. It covers the cost of supplies, labor, transportation, & USPS/UPS charges. To date we have absorbed 4 shipping increases and will continue to do all we can to keep it reasonable for our customers.

Well, there was definitely some bean counters doing some crazy algorithims to come up with these price increases. After a month, I am still suprised by the randomness - however they are definitely targeting the regions closest to the shipper. Will continue to track what the overall affect is. Since we do not buffer our costs within the tool prices we may have to ship via their slower methods, but will continue to ship the orders in fastest way possible within our flat rate charges.
