Posted By: <b>Robert Klevens</b><p>Shipping Services January 18 Pricing Change<br><br><a href="http://www.usps.com/prices/pricechanges.htm?from=home_ftpromo&page=newshi ppingprices" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.usps.com/prices/pricechanges.htm?from=home_ftpromo&page=newshi ppingprices</a><br><br>On January 18 prices for Express Mail, Priority Mail, Parcel Select, Parcel Return Service, Global Express Guaranteed, Express Mail International, Priority Mail International, and M-Bags change. As always, we do not impose fuel surcharges, hidden surcharges, or surcharges for residential or Saturday delivery.<br><br>The move to January price changes for shipping services is consistent with industry standards and provides a clear picture of the affordable services we offer. Highlights for domestic shipping services include new Commercial Plus pricing, with up-front discounts for high-volume Express Mail and Priority Mail users. On average, Commercial Plus prices for Express Mail are 14.5 percent less than retail prices; Priority Mail Commercial Plus prices average 7 percent less. We are also introducing a new, smaller Priority Mail flat-rate box. The new box is priced the same as the flat-rate envelope and provides a great option for customers sending smaller items that require sturdy packaging and the convenience of flat rate pricing.<br><br>Prices for Express Mail and Priority Mail are designed to maintain the Postal Services competitive position as the best shipping value in the market, especially for packages weighing less than 5 pounds. The new prices also make Parcel Select, our last mile ground product, an even better value for high-volume shippers. For international mailers, Global Express Guaranteed, Express Mail International and Priority Mail International are the best value in global shipping.<br><br><img src="http://www.klevens.com/rates.jpg" alt="rates.jpg">
