The U.S. Postal Service has proposed temporary price increases for certain package services during the 2024 peak holiday season. These adjustments, set to take effect on October 6, 2024, and lasting through January 19, 2025, will impact commercial and retail customers using Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, and USPS Ground Advantage.
