The cost of doing business with the U.S. Postal Service is going up.
This is the second price hike authorized by the USPS governors. It’s about 5.4% and is designed to offset inflation. And the price rises are needed to keep the USPS afloat because it no longer gets tax dollars to sustain its existence.
Here’s a list of the changes you can expect. Changes went into effect last Sunday.
