Read the full announcement below.

A recommendation by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy not to raise prices in January 2025 for Market Dominant products, which includes First-Class Mail, was accepted by the Governors of the United States Postal Service. Accordingly, the price of a stamp to mail a 1-once single-piece First-Class letter will not increase.

The Postal Service鈥檚 operational strategies are designed to boost service reliability, cost efficiency, and overall productivity.

鈥淥ur strategies are working, and projected inflation is declining,鈥� said Postmaster General DeJoy. 鈥淭herefore, we will wait until at least July before proposing any increases for market dominant services.鈥�

The Postal Service remains committed to continued cost saving measures and to keeping its products and services affordable. Only a handful of countries have a lower price for a domestic single-piece letter.

Lastly, the Postal Service continues to deliver on the tenets of the 10-year plan, while executing our public service mission 鈥� to provide a nationwide, integrated network for the delivery of mail and packages at least six days a week 鈥� in a cost-effective and financially sustainable manner over the long term, just as the U.S. Congress intended and the law requires.

The post DeJoy Has Spoken: No Postal Rate Increases in January appeared first on 抖荫短视频.

The rate increases would affect select commercial and retail domestic competitive parcels, including Priority Mail Express (PME), Priority Mail (PM) and USPS Ground Advantage. Assuming the changes are approved by the Postal Regulatory Committee (PRC), these price increases would go into effect on Oct. 6, 2024, and cease on Jan. 18, 2025.

In their update, the DMM Advisory wrote:

The U.S. Postal Service filed notice today with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) regarding a temporary price change for some package services for the 2024 peak holiday season. This temporary price adjustment is to help cover extra handling costs to ensure a successful peak season.

The planned peak-season pricing, which was approved by the governors of the Postal Service on Aug. 8, would affect prices on the following commercial and retail domestic competitive parcels: Priority Mail Express (PME), Priority Mail (PM) and USPS Ground Advantage. No other products or services would be affected. Pending favorable review by the PRC, the temporary rates would go into effect at midnight Central on Oct. 6 and remain in place until midnight Central on Jan. 19, 2025.

This seasonal adjustment will bring prices for the Postal Service鈥檚 commercial and retail customers in line with competitive practices.

As a strategic part of the 10-year plan, these temporary changes will support the Postal Service in creating a revitalized organization capable of achieving our public service mission 鈥� providing a nationwide, integrated network for the delivery of mail and packages at least six days a week 鈥� in a cost-effective and financially sustainable manner over the long term, just as the U.S. Congress has intended.

Marceline, Missouri; July 15, 2024 鈥� 抖荫短视频 announced it has hired printing industry veteran Andy Billett as the company鈥檚 new Chief Operating Officer (COO). Billett will be replacing 抖荫短视频鈥檚 current COO Jim Mead, who is retiring from the company in November and will be based out of 抖荫短视频鈥檚 corporate office in Marceline, Missouri.

Billett comes to 抖荫短视频 with 25-plus years of printing and senior leadership experience at Taylor Corporation, Custom Ink and Jostens. Once he began to explore the opportunity to join 抖荫短视频, he said it was a perfect match.

鈥淢eeting Don Sr., Don, and the team at Marceline made me feel at home,鈥� said Billett. 鈥湺兑穸淌悠� reminded me of my days at Taylor Corporation 鈥� genuine, honest and sincere. The values and culture at 抖荫短视频 are very strong, and the 抖荫短视频s have a compelling growth strategy for the future. Discussing this strategy and my potential role, and how I can help the team achieve it, drew me in.鈥�

Billett will be responsible for developing and overseeing the strategy and execution of plans to help the company achieve its short- and long-term operational goals. He will help establish the company direction and be responsible for developing operating budgets and establishing operational policies and procedures.

鈥淲e鈥檙e thrilled to have Andy join the Leadership Team here at 抖荫短视频,鈥� said Don 抖荫短视频, president. 鈥淎ndy brings years of valuable experience in the printing industry, along with a wealth of knowledge. Plus, he understands people and is focused on building relationships.鈥�

For the majority of his print career at Taylor and Jostens, Billett said he has been focused on the scholastic business, including yearbook. And he said 抖荫短视频鈥檚 growth potential in both yearbook and commercial was one of the primary attractions that brought him aboard.

鈥湺兑穸淌悠� is a successful company that has been around for a long time and should be very proud of where it鈥檚 at and what鈥檚 been built,鈥� said Billett. 鈥淲hat excites me is there鈥檚 still opportunity for growth.鈥�

While the price hike follows all the relevant rules of the Postal Service鈥檚 Market Dominant price adjustment schedule, the PRC is concerned that the USPS may not have fully considered the broader impact on mailers and customers.

In particular, the PRC is worried that raising prices could be counterproductive given the ongoing decline in mail volume (especially for traditional mail like flyers and magazines) and recent issues with mail delivery performance. These concerns, along with the USPS’s overall financial situation, haven’t improved since the current system for setting mail prices was adopted.

Other sources agree with the PRC鈥檚 skepticism over these rate increases and their effectiveness. Citing a notable trend of year over year decreases in marketing mail revenue for the USPS, , wrote: 鈥淭he postal price increases in the near term have proven to be a failure. The USPS modeling predicted that revenue would increase and demand wouldn’t fall. However, the data tells a different story. In 2023, revenue of 鈥渕arketing mail鈥� decreased by $920 million and volume decreased by 7.7 billion pieces.鈥�

The PRC is currently reviewing this system (Docket No. RM2024-4) to see if it’s still the best approach. In the meantime, the PRC is urging the USPS leadership to carefully consider these concerns and the feedback from stakeholders when deciding on future price adjustments. They suggest the USPS may not need to continue raising prices by the maximum allowed amount. You can read the PRC鈥檚 full decision

To summarize, the price of sending mail will increase in July, but there are questions about whether this is the best course of action for the long-term health of the USPS and its services. Accompanying these rate increases will be a handful of other changes to USPS rates, processes and programs. You can read more about the specific rate increases and updates in this blog.
