USPS Rate Increase (April 2022)
Beginning April 3, 2022 the United States Postal Service (USPS) will begin charging new surcharges for some shipments based on their dimensions as outlined below.
- Packages that are 22-30 inches in length: $4.00 additional charge
- Packages that exceed 30 inches in length: $15.00 additional charge
- Packages that are greater than 2 cubic feet in volume: $15.00 additional charge
- Packages that have missing or incorrect dimensions where one of the surcharges above would have been charged if the stated dimensions were correct: $1.50 additional charge
These surcharges apply to the following USPS services:

If you are shipping with a Postmarked team member these additional surcharges will be calculated as part of the postage due at shipping and no additional action is needed on your part.
