As the Sonny and Cher song states, "the beat goes on," so guess what! Postage rates are increasing just like the last 3 plus years.

We are now into the summer months, and it is time to revisit the USPS promotions for 2023. Three of the 2023 promotions are already completed or underway, see the original blog: How to Save on Postage - Part 1. The USPS has added a couple of new promotions for the second half of this year, the Reply Mail IMbA Promotion and the Retargeted Mail Promotion to go along with a repeat of the Informed Delivery Promotion.
It's year three of the United States Postal Service's (USPS) 10-Year Plan, and the USPS is raising postage rates for Market Dominated products for the second time this year on July 9th. The increase averages 5.4% across First Class, Marketing Mail, Periodicals, Package Services and Special Services. Flat rate mail, periodicals and packages will have a higher average rate due to the fact they are not meeting the cost associated with delivery. The USPS call these products "under water." The USPS has the authority to add an additional 2% increase above the 5.4% until these products are covering delivery costs. View the entire USPS 10-year plan here.
