The U.S. Postal Service will be charging higher postage rates effective January 26, 2014.
Letters and Postcards
Packages will see a number of increases:
In a few sizes, Priority Express package rates and Priority Regional box rates may actually go down slightly. But as a whole, the rates are increasing.
Back in September the Postal Service requested the rate hikes as "exigent" (emergency) increases needed to make up for losses due to the Great Recession of 2008-2009. The Postal Regulatory Commission, which has oversight, approved the changes in a 2 to 1 split decision, but refused to make them permanent. However, it's not clear how long "temporary" will be.
Any mailings up through January 25th will be at the old rates.
What can you do to save money on 2014 postage?Many small businesses have already moved toward electronic communications. Electronic invoicing, direct payroll deposit, electronic bill payment, email marketing instead of printed mailers, and other techniques cut down on paper and attendant postage costs.
But electronic is not always feasible. Here are a few other techniques to consider, in order to guard your bottom line.
Many times, the postage savings is greater than our cost to prepare your mailings so you save money for all your mailings.
