The Welcome Center staff would like to announce some changes when it comes to mailing packages and our new postage meter. The USPS has changed the way the meter figures the postage on packages. Unlike our last machine it only went by weight; however, our new one is both weight and size. With that, we would like to encourage the use of flat rate shipping boxes (small, medium, and large) as they can be cheaper than using regular boxes and to help bypass the input of dimensions making the process quicker. We are happy to provide any size box we have available without charge aside for the postage.
As a reminder, the USPS has announced increased postage rates starting August 29th.
List of price increase:
- Standard Letters: .58
- Metered Letter: .53
- Postcards: .40
- Certified Mail: 3.75
- Return Receipt: 3.05
