The Postal Service introduced a new pricing strategy for Priority Mail, including a reduction in average prices for businesses and other customers who use Commercial Plus and Commercial Base online shipping services. The price change included a modest increase in Priority Mail prices at Post Offices and other Postal Service retail outlets. The changes offer more competitive pricing and build on Priority Mail’s popularity with customers. Unlike others in the shipping industry, the Postal Service did not implement any new dimensional weight charges.
When customers ship with Priority Mail, they get free insurance, expected delivery day and Flat Rate and Regional Rate packaging options. Priority Mail is one of the Postal Service’s most popular shipping products, helping to boost USPS package volumes and meet customers’ needs for convenience at competitive prices.
