The changes would go into effect from October 8 and end on December 27, according to the report.
The move is meant to help offset increased costs incurred during the pandemic and ahead of the busy holiday shopping season. The US Postal Service says it plans to charge higher fees for domestic shipping ahead of the holiday season to help offset increased costs incurred during the pandemic and for the upcoming holiday shopping season,A USPS spokesperson told The Journal it will be the first time the agency will have established surcharges during the holiday season.
It's not immediately clear whether businesses will pass the higher fees on to customers by charging higher prices for shipping. Other shipping companies like FedEx and UPS have already implemented higher surcharges in recent months, The Journal reported.
Interesting watching the US government purposefully destroy their postal service.
