USPS Recommends Competitive Price Changes for July 2026

May 11, 2026

The United States Postal Service (USPS) filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) today to adjust prices on domestic competitive package and service offerings. Pending favorable review and comments from the PRC, these price changes and adjustments will take effect on July 12.

Changes include elimination of ounce-based rate differentiation for published Commercial USPS Ground Advantage prices, which will not impact customers that have negotiated commercial rates for USPS Ground Advantage; and a competitive PO Box price increase of 3 percent. 

Shipping Services prices are primarily adjusted according to market conditions. The Postal Service governors evaluate shipping rates and fees and adjust them when needed as part of Postal Service’s 10-year network modernization plan to return the organization to financial sustainability and achieve service excellence while maintaining universal six-day mail delivery and expanding seven-day package delivery.

The complete Postal Service price filings with prices for all products can be found on the PRC website under the Daily Listings section. For the Shipping Services filing, see Docket No. CP2026-8.
