USPS 2020 Shipping Rate Changes Highlights:

​

• Priority Mail rates will increase for most packages by an average of 3.0 percent, a much lower increase than the 2019 rate increase of 6.2 percent.

​

• Priority Mail Express will increase by an average of 2.2 percent.

​

• Last year, First-Class Package service saw a major change in the rate structure, going to zone-based pricing, which led to a very high average rate increase of 11.9 percent. The 2020 First-Class Package rates aren’t seeing as substantial an increase but will go up an average of 2.2 percent.

​

• First Class International rates will increase by an average of 9.9 percent, a substantial increase compared to 3.9 percent in 2019.

​

• Priority Mail International rates will see an increase of 6.0 percent, while Priority Mail Express International is only increasing by 2.0 percent.

​

• On June 23, 2019, the USPS extended dimensional weight (DIM weight) to Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, and non-lightweight Parcel Select for packages larger than one cubic foot, with the DIM weight divisor changing to 166 (Get a full breakdown of dimensional weight here). There don’t appear to be any further rate changes in 2020 with respect to dimensional weight.

Our CEO of Carson Parts

​

I offer customers a fresh new avenue to Pre-Owned, Refurbished & New parts at a great value. When shipping costs rise like this, it affects all of us. I do not have control over the continuous rise in shipping costs to consumers, but I do have control over not raising my prices to you the consumer. I am aware free shipping is offered by many companies throughout this industry by them having to increase the price on their parts or adding membership fees to cover their shipping cost.
