Over the past few months, the United States Postal Service has seen a big increase in the number of packages shipped each day as more customers do their shopping online. Like many shipping carriers this holiday season USPS is temporarily increasing its rates for domestic packages to account for rising expenses. Even with this increase, USPS shipping labels purchased on Etsy still cost less than retail rates you’d pay at the Post Office. However, the rates available on Etsy and from other online retailers will be slightly higher than usual from October 18 through December 27. These increases affect prices for Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, First-Class Package Service, Parcel Select, and Parcel Return Service. Learn more here.
