We are all suffering from shipping costs especially those on the marketplace who have to add shipping making it hard to see an item. Besides the mishandling of packages by USPS, the now want to raise rates again ???
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Surging inflation will prompt the U.S. Postal Service to seek higher prices for stamps and other services in January, just five months after its recent hike, as it continues to lose money.
USPS raised prices in July by about 6.5%, including increasing the price of a first-class stamp from 58 cents to 60 cents after hiking stamps by 3 cents in August 2021.
U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said Tuesday inflation would cause costs to exceed its 2022 budget plan "by well over $1 billion." DeJoy said he plans to recommend to the Postal Board of Governors that USPS raise prices again in January.
DeJoy has said USPS for years had failed to charge enough for package and mail delivery.
