The Postal Service has filed for Market Dominant Changes with the Postal Regulatory Commission, which approved the changes on May 30, 2025. The new rates took effect on July 13, 2025.

Here are the key highlights:

• Single Piece Forever Stamps will go from $.73 to $.78 cents which is an increase of 6.8% or $0.05 cents per piece.
• First Class Presorted Automation Letter Rates will go up on average 8% or $0.049 cents per piece.
• First Class Presorted Automation Flat Rates will increase on average 8.2% or $0.113 cents per piece.
• Nonprofit Marketing Mail Auto Letters are going up on average 5.6% or $0.010 per piece; however, Destination SCF (DSCF) letters will see increases as high as 10.3% or 0.015 per piece.
• Nonprofit Marketing Mail Auto Flats (4 oz or less) per piece are going up on average 16.8% or $0.099 cents, however Destination SCF (DSCF) Flats 4 oz or less will see increases as high as 22%.

Of special note, this rate adjustment also eliminates the DNDC entry discount. As a result, Drop Ship mail overall could see higher increases. There are additional service standards changes, expanding on the ones from April 1, 2025, which now include banded sections around urban centers.

USPS Postal Promotion and Incentives Changes

For 2026, promotions will include a new catalog promotion discount of up to 10%. The current catalog discount of $.001 per piece has been eliminated for the remainder of this year. The Mail Growth Incentive will be offered again in 2026, but the baseline period will be shifted to encompass the entirety of calendar year 2025.
