Prepare to pay a little extra when shipping through the U.S. Postal Service next year.

The U.S. Postal Service has proposed raising prices on several shipping services starting Jan. 18, 2026.

On Nov. 14, the agency filed a notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission asking for price adjustments for four shipping services. Under the proposal, which was already approved by the governors of USPS, Ground Advantage would see the largest price increase at approximately 7.8 percent, followed by Priority Mail service at 6.6 percent, Parcel Select at 6.0 percent, and Priority Mail Express service at 5.1 percent.
