In announcing today the availability of USPS Ground Advantage beginning July 9th, the Postal Service said published prices for USPS Ground Advantage would decrease 1.4% compared with current Parcel Select Ground and First-Class Package Service pricing. It is also intended for users of the Postal Service’s Priority Mail service, who need two- to three-day transit times but don’t want to pay Priority Mail’s pound-based prices.” What is also changing: the rollout of USPS Ground Advantage, which the USPS painted today as “simpler, reliable and more affordable.”Īs we reported in February, the USPS announced it would consolidate First Class Package Service, USPS Retail Ground, and Parcel Select Ground under the new branding: “USPS Ground Advantage,” featuring two-to five day service standards for packages weighing up to 70 pounds – including parcels weighing up to 15.999 ounces.Īt the time, FreightWaves explained, “The product is aimed at shippers willing to sacrifice speed for price. On average, Parcel Select prices as a whole will increase 1.4%, according to today’s USPS filing with the PRC. No price changes are being made in July for Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, Domestic Extra Services, or the majority of International Products (some International Ancillary Services will receive a price change for July).
As expected, the USPS followed up last month’s announcement of a July rate increase for “dominant” services (including First Class Mail) with part two: rates for “competitive” services.
