"Although Mailing Services price increases are based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), Shipping Services prices are primarily adjusted according to market conditions. Details on those price changes were listed on the USPS website and ranged from a $.50 increase for the small flat rate boxes to a $1.05 increase for the large flat rate boxes and the APO/FPO large flat rate boxes.
Priority mail retail flat rate price increases were approved as well in 2018 and were scheduled to go into effect over the weekend. International stamped letters and domestic postcards are expected to keep the same prices as they always had, with letters holding steady at $1.15 and postcards staying at $.35. The cost of metered letters is expected to increase from $.47 an ounce to $.50 an ounce. Other costs of the mailing services are expected to increase though as well.
