MediaBuyerPlanner: Postmaster General John E. Potter has said that U.S. Postal Service business customers must be prepared for a possible postal rate increase to be implemented May 6.
Potter says that, while “a lot of people” are talking about asking if that date can be extended, “we have to be ready on May 6 if that is what the Board of Governors decide,” writes DM News.
The USPS filed for an average 8.5 percent rate increase. For business mailers, that generally means increases of 7 to 18 percent, based on averages for various mail classes. The Postal Rate Commission should make a recommendation on the rate case next March.
