Actually. It’s a 10 year plan. We were suppose to began feeling it for next 10 years. Postal Inspector Dejoy, closed all the small post offices. Everything are going to only distribution center. They closed the mom and pop post offices down. The Distribution centers have no idea how to work the street as far as delivery ing mail. Side streets, suite ect routes must be done by small post Offices people who know the town

Also Dejoy stayed long enough to F things up so bad and collect a pension. We are still awaiting 37 payment checks since last week in November.

USPS announced recently a price increase. Imagine that Amazon can deliver in a few hours if you have Amazon Prime. I can't even remember the last time I sent a letter to anyone. Not even a check. Its all done one line. We just don't use USPS as FexEx and UPS are much more dependable and not much more expensive.

U.S. Postal Service Recommends New Competitive Prices for 2026​

• Postal Service continues to offer great values for shipping and reliable service to the American people.
• Pricing actions are part of a balanced approach under the Postal Service’s 10-year transformation plan for achieving financial sustainability and service excellence.
• As previously announced, the Postal Service will not raise prices in January for Mailing Services; the price of a First-Class Mail stamp will remain unchanged.

WASHINGTON — The Postal Service today filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) for Shipping Services price changes to take effect Jan. 18, 2026. The proposed adjustments were approved by the governors of USPS this week.

The change would raise prices approximately 6.6 percent for Priority Mail service, 5.1 percent for Priority Mail Express service, 7.8 percent for USPS Ground Advantage and 6.0 percent for Parcel Select.

Although Mailing Services price increases are based on the consumer price index, Shipping Services prices are primarily adjusted according to market conditions. The governors believe these new rates will keep the Postal Service competitive while providing the organization with needed revenue. As the Postal Service previously announced, the organization will not raise prices in January for Mailing Services. This means the price of a First-Class Mail stamp will not change.

As part of the Postal Service’s network modernization and transformation plan, these proposed changes will support creation of a revitalized organization capable of achieving its public service mission — providing a nationwide, integrated network for the delivery of mail and packages at least six days a week — in a cost-effective and financially sustainable manner over the long term, just as the U.S. Congress has intended.
