USPS postage rates will increase across a range of denominations. While Priority Mail®, Express Mail® and 1-ounce First-Class Mail® rates will remain the same, Media Mail®, Parcel Post® and several other postage values will be changing. The biggest change is the introduction of Commercial Base prices for First-Class Mail Packages.
Commercial Base pricing offers discounted postage rates to customers who purchase postage online. With the introduction of Commercial Base pricing for First-Class Mail Packages, online postage customers -- including Stamps.com users -- will now receive discounts up to 8% on First-Class Mail Packages compared to Post Office™ rates. When comparing Commercial Base pricing to Post Office rates, the discounts range from up to 15% on Priority Mail and up to 21% on Express Mail.
"First-Class Mail Packages have always been one of the lowest-cost shipping options for mailers and shippers," said Stamps.com President and CEO Ken McBride. "The introduction of Commercial Base pricing to First-Class Mail Packages allows Stamps.com customers to see even greater savings. That certainly helps to minimize the impact rate changes have on our customers."
