I just read that USPS will add surcharges to packages Oct 3 through Dec 26.  I really hate these package fees.  Anywhere from .25 to $5.

I think we all know where this is coming from.  The sooner there's a change of postmaster general, the better.

You can easily do a search yourself for the information, can't you?

you can find more detailed information directly on the USPS website. this was announced back in august 2021.

The United States Postal Service filed notice today with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) regarding a temporary price adjustment for key package products for the 2021 peak holiday season. This temporary rate adjustment is similar to one in 2020 that anticipated heightened peak-season package and shipping demand, which typically results in extra handling costs.

I read that too but they've done that in the past so it's nothing new.

Just got back from the PO and the man at the counter told me the PO is only going to use trucks starting October 1 so your 1st class letter will take up to week to get delivered.

He said you need to mail early for the Holidays, he said priority packages won't be affected but we all know better.

These people are overworked. To say the least.

I have a rural carrier. He was 2 hrs late today and splitting another carrier's route.  

Let's have some patience.
