September 2024 Rate Case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Effective September 16th,<\/strong> USPS is making changes to shipping rates that will affect some of your Priority Mail\u00ae and Ground Advantage\u2122 packages. Depending on where you\u2019re shipping, you may notice slightly higher prices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news? Even with these changes, your rates will continue to be better than what you would pay at the Post Office. Through ShipEngine, you’ll enjoy up to 42% off USPS Priority Mail\u00ae and 49% off USPS Ground Advantage\u2122<\/sup> when shipping to these impacted ZIP Codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to check if a specific ZIP code falls under the rate change please reach out to our customer support team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more information on the rate change please check our help center article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming October 2024 rate change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the rate increases that take effect on September 16th, the USPS is also planning to temporarily increase rates starting October 6th to help cover the cost of shipping during the busy holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
