This increase came in a bit under the radar. Unlike when the U.S.P.S. raises stamp prices, the new Priority mail pricing system seemed to be rather stealthy. I didn't find any press releases on the U.S.P.S. site about it and only discovered it when I looked in to why my shipping prices had increased.
According to Shoebox, the new rates went into effect on January 18th. Priority mail now starts at $4.95 and goes up from there. They have introduced a new Small Flat Rate box as well. There is a full list of pricing at the U.S.P.S. site which, I might add, has be re-re-re designed again. I do think the information is better presented now.
