USPS Mailing service prices are proposed to increase by approximately 1.8% for First-Class Mail and 1.5% for other categories.

How Quantity Affects Price
All commercial postage categories have minimum quantities of mail that must be met. Beyond that, your level of sort and the number of pieces in each sortation may qualify your mail for a price reduction. Speak with your Delzer Rep to discuss how we can simplify your next mailing.

Plan for the Price Change
Changes are proposed to take effect January 24, 2021, following the PRC’s price review. Although these price changes are not entirely set in stone yet, it’s a good idea to plan your 2021 mailing budget with these prices in mind as if it is happening – because it probably will.
