More effective pricing

USPS focused on reaching business and residential customers in FY2011 with compelling pricing for their package products and services. We set prices that are market-based and calculated to drive volume sales and encourage growth in small parcel business-to-customer shipping.

In many categories, we offer significantly lower rates compared to major competitors such as FedEx and UPS. Pricing is a major point of differentiation, and the Postal Service provides compelling pricing as a result of its highly efficient delivery platform.
