The decision comes as the postal services recently reported a $3.3 billion net loss for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025.

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) intends to increase shipping prices effective July 13 and has filed a notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission on the matter, the agency said in a statement.

“The changes would raise domestic shipping services prices approximately 6.3 percent for Priority Mail service, 7.1 percent for USPS Ground Advantage, and 7.6 percent for Parcel Select. Prices are not changing for Priority Mail Express service,” the company said on May 9.
