Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s changing:

Priority Mail rates are increasing in most cases, with many shipments seeing double-digit hikes.

Flat Rate Boxes are increasing by up to 11 percent. Flat Rate Envelopes will stay the same.

Ground Advantage is mostly stable, but some rural areas will see increases up to 14 percent.

Media Mail is decreasing by 2 percent.

Priority Mail Express and International rates are not changing.

As a nonprofit that ships a ton of art supply to disabled adults and those who shop with us, we’ve tested a lot of options over the years. We are not affiliated with PirateShip.com, and they don’t offer affiliate programs, but they’ve consistently been the most affordable shipping tool we’ve found.

If you’re not already using them, this might be a good time to take a look. With increases like these, every dollar matters.
