The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has announced temporary price adjustments for select package services during the 2025 peak holiday season. These seasonal increases are designed to help offset the additional handling, labor, and transportation costs that come with the busiest shipping period of the year.
For e-commerce brands and retailers, these changes mean now is the time to prepare your shipping strategy—not just for the December rush, but for the extended demand that continues into January.
What’s Changing?
Effective during Peak Season 2025:
- Rates will increase based on shipping zone and package weight.
- Adjustments will range from $0.30 to $5.75 per package.
Services Impacted:
- USPS Ground Advantage
