USPS Mailing Rate Adjustments (Commercial Mail)
Rates Updated January 18, 2026
USPS commercial postage rates for printed mail pieces—including marketing postcards, envelopes, and flat mailers—were updated as of January 18, 2026. Current mailing prices now reflect these USPS adjustments.
Final postage charges are determined once mailing data is fully processed. Factors such as address validation, presorting, and mail format can impact the final cost.
Key reminders:
- Rates apply to USPS-compliant machinable mail pieces
- Mail transit times are projections, not delivery guarantees
- Switching mail classes may incur additional USPS or processing fees
Rate application timeline:
Mailings delivered to USPS prior to the effective date follow the previous rate structure. Mailings inducted on or after January 18, 2026 are billed using the updated USPS pricing, regardless of order placement date.
For time-critical campaigns, priority USPS mailing services may be worth considering.
