USPS plans 25% average price hike for Parcel Select shippers

The ground delivery offering has been the target of controversial changes that would impact key shipping partners like DHL eCommerce and Pitney Bowes.

The U.S. Postal Service is proposing a sharp price increase for its Parcel Select offering — the target of controversial changes that would impact key shipping partners and their customers.

The agency wants rates for Parcel Select to increase by 25% on average on July 14, according to a notice filed with the Postal Regulatory Commission on Friday. The low-cost ground delivery product is used by consolidators like DHL eCommerce and Pitney Bowes, which handle and send customers’ parcels to Postal Service facilities for final-mile delivery.

The specific price hikes that Parcel Select users will see depends on where they enter volume in the agency’s network.
