The United States Postal Service really wants to get your holiday packages delivered on time. So it wants to start charging more.
The postal service is requesting a temporary price increase on a variety of mail services for the peak holiday season to offset rising delivery costs. The price increases, which range from 25 cents to $5 per package, would go into effect on October 3, 2021 and last through December 26, 2021 for individuals and businesses on mailings including Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express and First-Class Package Service, according to a USPS statement.
However, the postal service still struggled to keep up with holiday demand last year thanks to a historic amount of packages and rising employee Covid-19 cases. In December 2020, packages were"up to the ceiling" in Philadelphia, local American Postal Workers Union president Nick Casselli told CNN.Read More"I've been in postal for 35 years, I've never seen what I'm seeing," he said.
