The United States Postal Service filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) regarding a temporary price adjustment to their competitive key package products for the 2021 peak holiday shipping season.
These seasonal adjustments (similar to the increase in 2020) will bring prices in line with competitive practices. Unlike last year, the changes are based on weight/zone segments.
Pending favorable review by the PRC, the temporary rates would go into effect Oct. 3, 2021 through Dec. 26, 2021 for domestic products only.
We're committed to helping our customers navigate these rate adjustments quickly and easily. If you currently ship USPS with StarShip these temporary price changes will automatically be applied to your account once the adjustment is in effect. If you have any questions please contact your customer account manager for more information.
