The increase in rates for the volume of land advantage is less than 6.4 % of the increase in postal services that peak for its flagship land packaging product during the 2024 season. However, prices for priority letters and Express Priority Recovers increase by 5.5 % and 4.9 % compared to last year’s average increase.
Programming rate bumps increased the postal services previously paid for shipping services last month. The agency said that future increases will help to afford additional costs during the holidays and make pricing “in accordance with competitive practices”.
The agency expects about $ 99.5 million in extra revenue in each PRC case, as it seems to improve its financial outlook as the new manager of David Steiner, the new post manager.
The Federal Express announced its peak costs last month, while UPS has not yet disclosed any changes to the holiday price since Monday morning.
