I'm not seeing any info on EBay or the USPS site, but has anyone else heard anything. Someone in a Facebook group of online sellers mentioned " the U.S. Postal Service is re-classifying First-Class Mail® Parcels as retail prices for First-Class™ Package Services. First-Class Mail Parcels will increase 9.9% on average". We already had a pretty big hike to First Class Package rates in January and it would suck to have another in the same year. Any links to info would be greatly appreciated thanks! |

I found this about the increase: http://www.pitneybowes.com/us/postal-information/rate-change-info.html |

Thanks Phyllis! It looks like it's just retail/counter rates so I think anyone using PBS postage, Stamps.com or Paypal shipping can still get that lower commercial rate |

thanks, I had posted about this a month ago when my PO clerks mentioned an increase was coming, but they had no details. The link explains it clearly so thanks Phyllis. |

This will also affect prices at the APC machines at the post office. Nothing will change if you print postage online. This does put a fairly significant difference between first class packages and media mail if you are buying postage at the post office. |
