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.

AUG 10th Update

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 of the increases. An address just down the road has gone up at least a couple of dollars whereas some states across the US are only a dollar more. They seem to be targeting the regions closest to the shipper. Will continue to track what the overall affect is, but have decided to continue to absorb the costs at this juncture. Since we do not buffer our costs within the tool prices we have to keep an eye on it. We will continue to ship the fastest way possible within the flat rate charges.
