The U.S. Postal Service has proposed several changes set to take effect on July 13, 2025, with rate increases and updated promotional discounts across multiple mail classes.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what you need to know. There are three levels of USPS pricing: class level pricing, product level pricing and presort level pricing.
