If you are planning to send gifts or letters this holiday season, it will cost you more than usual. The U.S. Postal Service is raising prices for a limited time during the peak holiday season this year to help cover extra handling costs.

It will affect prices on several services, including:

  • Priority Mail Express
  • Priority Mail
  • USPS Ground Advantage
  • Parcel Select


  • The temporary rates will go into effect on Oct. 5, and remain in place until Jan. 18, 2026.
