The extra charge will remain in place through Jan. 17, 2027, when the Postal Service will reevaluate its costs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This temporary price adjustment will provide needed flexibility for the Postal Service by helping to ensure that the actual costs of doing business are covered, as required by Congress,&#8221; USPS said in the announcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 8% price increase applies to Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, USPS Ground Advantage and Parcel Select services. It does not affect the price of first-class stamps or any other products or services.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The USPS, a self-financed federal agency, noted that it typically receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and funds its operations by selling postage, products and services.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have steadfastly avoided surcharges, and this charge is less than one-third of what our competitors charge for fuel alone, so even with this change, the Postal Service continues to offer great value in shipping with some of the lowest rates in the industrialized world,&#8221; it said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<div style=\"min-height:480px\" id=\"datawrapper-vis-VKUkr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/VKUkr\/full.png\" alt=\"Gas prices over time (Line chart)\"\/><\/div>\n<p> <amp-iframe width=\"100\" height=\"100\" layout=\"responsive\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin\" resizable=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/VKUkr\/\"> <\/amp-iframe><\/div>\n<p>The average U.S. gas price is nearing $4 a gallon, up more than $1 from a month ago, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AAA<\/a>.
