At least once a year – and sometimes multiple times a year – the United States Postal Service (USPS®) changes postage rates. At Stamps.com, we value transparency and strive to keep you updated on rate changes that can have an impact on your mailing and shipping expenses.
This blog will help you understand these adjustments and ensure you’re always up-to-date with the latest USPS rate changes.
The good news, no matter what, Stamps.com will strive to get you best-in-class discounted rates for every mail class and shipping service available through USPS – and of course, more of your favorite carriers.
What is a rate change?
In case you didn’t know, USPS periodically adjusts its shipping and mailing rates. These changes can affect the cost of sending packages and letters depending on the service you choose, weight, destination, and other factors. We often refer to these adjustments as rate changes or rate adjustments.
October 2024 rate change
USPS is temporarily raising rates for select package services from October 6th to January 19th. This is a common practice among major carriers like FedEx and UPS during the holiday season to accommodate the surge in shipping volume and maintain service quality.
On September 16, 2024, the USPS adjusted rates for Priority Mail® and Ground Advantage™ packages shipped to certain ZIP Codes. This meant the cost to ship these packages might have increased slightly depending on the destination.
Despite these USPS changes, your rates will continue to be better than what you would pay at the Post Office. Impacted ZIP Codes will enjoy up to 41.66% off USPS Priority Mail® and 48.92% off USPS Ground Advantage™ when you ship through Stamps.com. Additionally, you’ll continue enjoying best-in-class discounts on USPS rates whenever you print stamps or shipping labels with Stamps.com. See the table below.
Want to know the impacted ZIP Codes?
Our customer success team is happy to help! If you’d like to see if a specific ZIP Code is affected by this change, feel free to reach out to them for assistance at [email protected].
While some rates might increase for specific destinations, we remain committed to providing you with deeply discounted shipping rates. Our sales and support teams are always available to answer any questions you may have about these changes.
We’ll continue to share details and updates as they become available, so be sure to bookmark this blog for the latest information.
July 2024 rate change
In July 2024, USPS implemented adjustments to shipping rates. Here’s a summary of the key changes that took effect:
July 1st:
Ground Advantage: Prices for packages under and over 1 pound increased, with some adjustments reaching up to $2.11. Cubic pricing for this service also saw an increase.
Priority Mail: Rates went up by an average of 5%, with some increases up to $3.10.
Priority Mail Flats: Prices rose by an average of 4%, with individual rates potentially increasing up to $1.18.
Priority Mail Cubic: This service experienced the largest increase, with an average rise of 10% and some rates going up by as much as $2.97.
July 14th:
First-Class Mail Stamps: The price increased by 5 cents, from 68 cents to 73 cents. However, using Stamps.com, you can still get a discounted rate of 69 cents.
Overall Mailing Services: Mailing service prices increased by an average of 7.8%.
New mailing technology requirements from USPS
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is implementing a new technology standard called Intelligent Mail Indicia (IMI) to modernize its mailing system.
What is IMI and why is it required?
IMI replaces the older technology and provides the USPS with more detailed and real-time data on your mailings. This translates to a smoother and more efficient mailing experience for everyone. Upgrading offers several benefits:
Reduced costs: Eliminates the need to guesstimate postage, preventing overspending and returns.
Improved cash flow: Detailed transaction data makes it easier to track refunds and reimbursements.
Always up-to-date: Your system automatically receives the latest postage rates and service information.
Enhanced security: Robust security features protect your data.
Increased efficiency: IMI streamlines mail processing for the USPS, potentially leading to faster deliveries.
What does this mean for you?
The good news is, you don’t need to take any action. Stamps.com has worked diligently behind the scenes, ensuring our technology is fully compliant with IMI as of December 2024. As an approved USPS partner, we’ll make sure your mailing operation continues to run smoothly without interruption.
Effective June 30, 2024, USPS® discontinued all Information Based Indicia (IBI) postage meter technology and required all postage meters to upgrade to a new system called Intelligent Mail Indicia (IMI). The bad news for organizations that are leasing postage meters: Devices that are not compliant will be withdrawn from service by December 2024. The good news for Stamps.com customers: Migration to IMI has happened automatically as of December 2024, and there’s nothing you need to do on your end.
Key dates and takeaways
USPS decertified all postage meters using IBI on June 30, 2024
USPS will no longer accept decertified postage after December 31, 2024
IBI has been used for over 20+ years; IMI is a major update and shift for USPS
Stamps.com customers don’t need to take any action
Stamps.com customers can rest easy
What does this change mean and how did these changes affect your business? Let’s start with the basics: Intelligent Mail Indicia (IMI) is the technology postage meters use to send information to USPS. Effective June 30, 2024, any postage meters still using IBI were decertified; however, USPS will accept postage from decertified meters until December 31, 2024.
After this time, your postage meter will require IMI technology to remain in use; meaning, if you are currently leasing a postage meter from Pitney Bowes, Quadient, and others, you’ll have to physically replace your postage meters to meet IMI compliance–not a fun task. Imagine going to the Apple store to take your phone in every time there is a software update. Quite the disruption, not to mention an antiquated way of going about technology.
The good news is that Stamps.com customers have been migrated to IMI as of December 2024. We’ve made sure no changes will be needed on your end so you can continue focusing on your business without any interruptions or holdups. Our NetStamps® postage won’t require any updates, and we eliminated the need for special equipment so that you can buy and print postage online from anywhere at any time.
While no action was necessary, IMI and its benefits are worth understanding.
What is Intelligent Mail Indicia (IMI)?
As previously stated, Intelligent Mail Indicia (IMI) is the technology postage meters use to send information to USPS. Indicia, or Permit Imprint Indicia, is a form of printed postage that takes the place of a traditional stamp or postage meter marking. IBI, like IMI, is a form of printed postage: It was created to provide USPS with more centralized data and heightened security.
After two decades of IBI, USPS has been rolling out IMI over the last ten years. IMI is built off of IBI but has more up-to-date technology. To align with their ten-year initiative, USPS will now enforce adoption of IMI for all postage meters, meaning all hardware and software.
How does IMI benefit me?
IMI comes with a few advantages. Some of these include:
Enhanced security
Increased mail efficiency
Automated and streamlined returns
With Stamps.com, you get all the benefits of IMI without having to worry about physically replacing your postage meters.
Enhanced security
IMI provides even more data encryption and fraud protection. Encrypted data prevents your information from being accessed or stolen. Also, increased security checks are more likely to flag fraudulent activity sooner.
Increased mail efficiency
IMI lays the groundwork for automating tasks that could otherwise cause delays. Avoiding these delays can lead to faster delivery times and shortened wait times. This new technology also decreases the likelihood of adjustments given to incorrect measurements.
Automated and efficient returns
IMI allows for more detailed tracking so that you can track refunds with ease. IMI barcodes also include easily accessible information like insurance, keeping everything in one place.
Did these changes impact my mailing and shipping?
This change will take place automatically for Stamps.com customers: Our team has implemented these changes ahead of the Dec. 30, 2024 deadline, making sure your workflow won’t be interrupted or affected and that your postage meters comply with the new regulations.
If you have any questions about these changes, please contact our Support team via email or phone at (855) 608-2677, Monday through Friday, from 8AM to 8PM CT, and we’ll be happy to chat with you.
Do I need to update my postage meter?
For Stamps.com customers, no, but if you are leasing a postage meter from Pitney Bowes, Quadient, and others, these changes likely were unexpected, expensive, time-consuming, and complicated – even more tedious, you’ll be forced to replace your postage meters before December 30, 2024 to comply with IMI. While those who leased machines were inconvenienced, those who bought machines were left in a serious bind. You’ll also need to contact your provider about their IMI adoption plan.
We’re excited to showcase the benefits of IMI while making sure the transition continues to be smooth sailing.

In today’s fast-paced digital world, it’s easy to overlook the enduring value of traditional mail. However, at Stamps.com, we’re always curious about the important role of mail in today’s digital world. So, we commissioned a survey of 500 consumers to get to the bottom of it.
Survey says? Physical mail continues to play a significant role in how Americans connect and communicate.
Our study found that nearly two-thirds (65%) of surveyed Americans still send letters and packages on a monthly basis. Even more surprisingly, younger generations are active mailers, with nearly half (48%) of Gen Z mailing 1-2 times a month.
Key Takeaways
Mail is still a mainstay: Nearly two-thirds (65%) of Americans send physical mail between 1-5 times a month, and 34% mailed something just last week!
Gen Z is on board: Even the youngest generation is embracing mail, with 48% of Gen Z sending letters or packages 1-2 times a month.
Businesses rely on mail: 36% of surveyed businesses mail weekly, proving that it’s still crucial for their operations.
Why people love mail: it’s personal, it’s reliable
So, what’s behind this enduring love for physical mail? Our survey uncovered some key reasons:
Personal touch wins: 37% of respondents appreciate the personal touch of physical mail, especially Gen X (41%).
Reliability matters: 31% of Americans value the security and trustworthiness of physical mail.
Tracking provides peace of mind: 35% of people like the ability to track their mail and packages. This preference was most pronounced among older generations, with 40% of Baby Boomers citing “tracking” as a top priority.
Mail’s not just personal: businesses rely on it too
It’s not just about birthday cards and holiday greetings. Our research underscores that mail is still a cornerstone of the business world. A significant 34% of surveyed Americans rely on mail for both personal and professional purposes, and businesses are actively driving mail volume, with 36% of those we surveyed mailing weekly. This is especially crucial for industries like law and healthcare, where secure and efficient communication is paramount.
The Challenges: cost and time
While mail has its perks, we also know it can come with a few hurdles. Here’s what some folks find a bit tricky:
Cost is a concern: 43% of people say high costs around postage are their biggest frustration with mailing.
Time is of the essence, especially for younger generations: 44% of Gen Z find the time it takes to mail – like waiting in line or dropping off parcels – to be their biggest pain point.
Bottom line
Physical mail isn’t going anywhere. By understanding what customers value and leveraging technology to improve the experience, businesses can continue to harness the power of mail for years to come.

The economy is showing some signs of healing. However, things are still fragile. The key is learning to accept the uncertainty of the financial landscape. That also includes understanding that consumers constantly change their expectations. Quite frankly, it’s a lot for businesses to juggle, and adaptation isn’t optional.
A flexible mailing and shipping strategy is your best bet for this year. And, the best foundation for this strategy lies within Stamps.com. ShipStation has also created a 2024 Ecommerce Benchmark Report to help your business succeed. Here are tips for mailing and shipping in 2024 and beyond with the help of ShipStation and Stamps.com.
One of the overarching themes for 2024 is to meet your customers where they are. That includes meeting your customers online through your website and social media platforms. Taking the time to develop an online presence expands your reach and finds a bigger audience. In fact, 48% of businesses plan to increase their marketing budget this year alone. This means an online presence is no longer optional.
For example, check your contact information, logo, bio, and website. Do customers have access to all of the most updated information? Also, confirm that your address is displaying correctly. If customers can’t locate your business, they can’t use your services.
Finally, consider investing in a social media scheduling program or scheduling posts in advance when and where you can. This way, customers will see consistent content when looking through your platforms. You can also set aside specific filming and/or content creation times during the week. Your staff can then build a backlog of content without keeping them from their daily tasks.
Utilize discounted premium delivery options
Customers can be categorized into two groups: digital natives and digital adopters. Digital natives are those under 45 who grew up with technology. Digital adopters are those who are over 45 and had to learn how to use technology. Within this generational divide comes a difference in delivery preferences. For example, 66% of digital adopters and 33% of digital natives said they would never pay for premium delivery services.
While these groups have specific expectations, premium delivery options are sometimes the only option when sending important documents. To help combat premium delivery prices, Stamps.com provides our customers with discounted rates. You can also compare rates in real time with our rate browser. Get the best rate and premium service every time, so time-sensitive documents arrive exactly when they need to.
Provide tracking links whenever possible
We’ve all compulsively checked tracking links. We click over and over again, waiting for the latest update. And, with important documents and packages, tracking is even more crucial. 42% of consumers want periodic updates about their packages in transit. With Stamps.com, you can enable shipment notification emails.
Your customers will receive updates for major delivery events as well as a tracking link. You can also customize these notifications with your business’s logo, color scheme, and more. This helps your clients and customers know exactly when important documents and packages will arrive while also keeping your business in mind for repeat business. If you’re interested in our branded tracking emails, reach out to our support team at 1‑855‑889‑7867.
Consumers are looking at insurance options when reviewing your services online. 10% of consumers even stated that not offering insurance would make them less likely to shop with a brand in the future. This same mentality can carry over to your clients and other businesses and offices you partner with.
Important documents like invoices, payroll information, and legal papers need to be mailed and shipped securely. If these documents are lost or damaged in transit, they can hold up legal proceedings, payouts, and overall operations. Carriers offer some insurance and declared value options. But with important documents and packages, it’s better to err on the side of caution and add more coverage.
ParcelGuard partners with Stamps.com to provide you with affordable coverage of up to $10,000*. Additionally, domestic and international packages and mailings are both eligible for ParcelGuard shipping insurance. Adding ParcelGuard coverage is simple. Simply enter the amount of insurance needed. We’ll calculate the cost and add it to your account.
Find the perfect strategy
2024 might be more stable than years prior. But, there’s always the possibility that financial hardships can strike. While the economy fluctuates, you have a steady solution in Stamps.com. We’ll help you handle changes in consumer expectations while saving you time and money.

Beginning May 15th, shipping services for hazardous materials (HAZMAT) will be temporarily restricted to only Ground Advantage™. As a result, we’ll continue to support HAZMAT shipping through this ground service.
Shipping hazardous materials correctly is important to Stamps.com and USPS. In fact, hazardous materials cause damage if shipped incorrectly. That’s why many dangerous goods are restricted from airplane freight. For this reason, the adoption of Ground Advantage™ works to keep everyone safe.
Key takeaways
HAZMAT shipments are limited to Ground Advantage™ starting May 15th.
These updates are automatic for Stamps.com customers.
This change creates a safer shipping experience for everyone.
Shipping HAZMAT materials comes with its own set of challenges. Most hazardous products fall into one of two categories: prohibited and restricted. The first category is items you can’t ship through USPS. The second category is items you can ship through USPS but need to utilize hazardous labels and abide by USPS regulations.
Let’s start with the first category. Some of the hazardous materials you can’t ship through USPS are:
Gasoline
Explosives
Ammunition
Liquid mercury
Now, let’s move to the second category. These are items you can ship through USPS. They’ll just need to include all the necessary HAZMAT labeling and packaging and follow USPS HAZMAT guidelines. Examples of these items are:
Dry ice
Perfume
Nail polish
Hand sanitizer
Lithium batteries
We recommend contacting USPS support with any questions before shipping. Their support team should be able to provide you with more information.
HAZMAT shipping requirements for batteries
It’s easy to forget that batteries are hazardous materials. However, you can ship batteries through USPS. Just clearly and legibly label them with the right documentation. Non spillable batteries are also eligible for shipping. But, the batteries need protective packaging in case of leaks in transit.
Additionally, you can ship batteries out of the package. For example, you may include batteries in broken or refurbished electronic products. These packages will need the following labels as well:
“Restricted Electronic Device”
“Surface Transportation Only”
You can also learn more information about shipping batteries on the USPS website.
Did you miss the HAZMAT changes from earlier this year? Catch up on those updates below!
January 2024 service changes
Starting January 21st, USPS is enhancing safety measures for handling dangerous goods shipments. HAZMAT labels will now feature:
An oversized letter “H” in the corner
The addition of 2D barcodes
The word “HAZMAT” after “USPS TRACKING #”
Shippers don’t need to take any additional action. Just select the hazardous goods option when printing your label. This goes for any shipments containing hazardous materials. We’ll cover everything you need to know about upcoming HAZMAT changes. This includes reminders for shipping hazardous materials in general.
HAZMAT label changes
HAZMAT labels will now feature two 2D IMpd™ barcodes. These new barcodes contain the same information as the existing IMpd barcodes. They will also help optimize processing automation. Additionally, these updates minimize distortion and printer errors. This makes it easier to scan labels.
The barcode banner text will now read: USPS TRACKING # HAZMAT. This increases visibility and improves the shipping experience. HAZMAT labels will also now feature an oversized letter “H” in the corner.
The second change is two-fold. These changes include new Dangerous Goods Service Type Codes, or STCs. STCs are numeric codes that identify a package’s mail classification and characteristics. This update also includes new IMpd label banner text. This way, packages are appropriately handled as they move through transit.
No action is needed
Stamps.com customers don’t need to adjust their workflow. Instead, labels created for hazardous materials will automatically include the new format. More information can be found in our Help Center. We’ve also included the steps for declaring hazardous materials below.

International shipping can feel like a barrier for many businesses, especially when it comes to determining how to pay duties and taxes. If duties and taxes aren’t paid in advance, your customers will be responsible for the cost when their shipment arrives. Additionally, packages with unpaid taxes and duties can be delayed in customs or returned for lack of payment or being left with the carrier for too long. However, we have a solution for you! Stamps.com provides your business with a way to pay Canadian taxes and duties with Canada DDP.
What is DDP?
DDP stands for Delivered Duty Paid. All DDP means is that your business pays the duties and taxes for a shipment, so customers don’t have to pay when their package arrives.
The Benefits of Canada DDP
Canada DDP can be used with USPS First Class Mail International®, Priority Mail International®*, and Priority Mail Express International®* shipments. The flat fee for using Canada DDP is $9.95 for USPS First Class Mail International®, Priority Mail International®, and Priority Mail Express International®. This fee will be included with the cost of your label, so there’s no need to worry about adjusting your shipping process. Also, shipments using Canada DDP don’t need printed customs forms, as all of the information needed is included with your label.
*Priority Mail International Medium and Large Flat Rate Boxes aren’t eligible for Canada DDP, so other types of packaging will need to be used.
Value Limits for Canada DDP
One thing to note is shipments using Canada DDP have a value limit, meaning the total cost of the items in your shipment can’t pass a certain monetary amount. The value limits for each service can be found below.
First-Class Mail International® – value up to $400
Priority Mail International® – value up to $2,500
Priority Mail Express International® – value up to $2,500
How to use Canada DDP
Once you’ve filled out the customs information for a Canadian shipment, select the Duties/Taxes drop-down menu. Click Prepay Duties and Taxes and print your label.
Conclusion
It takes a split second to take the responsibility of paying taxes and duties from your customers. The flat fee for Canada DDP is included with the cost of your shipping label, so you won’t be taken to another payment screen. Canada DDP is available to all Stamps.com customers, so you can start using this feature on your next Canadian shipment. Adding Canada DDP is only a couple of clicks away!
Simplify international shipping with a 30-day free trial to Stamps.com.
GlobalPost is excited to announce the launch of USPS Canada Delivered Duties Paid (DDP) service for Stamps.com shipping customers.
USPS Canada DDP allows customers to prepay duties and taxes for their First Class Package International Service parcels to Canada. For a flat fee of $9.95, packages of 4 lbs. or less will be delivered directly to the buyer’s door without having to pay required customs fees upon delivery, or having to travel to the Customs Office to pick up their package.
GlobalPost’s USPS Canada DDP service offers online retailers these great benefits:
Better Customer Experience: With sellers paying DDP, the buyer receives a smooth and easy delivery experience.
Decreased Returns: Shipments that arrive with duties owed face a high rate of refusal, or abandonment, as unhappy consumers refuse to pay the additional costs. When customers refuse a package, the seller typically has to pay the return shipping fees to get the package back.
Increased Sales Conversion: DDP is designed to help online retailers improve their shopping cart conversion rate for Canadian orders. Without DDP, customers are left guessing their total fees and end up abandoning their cart.
Eliminates $9.95 Surcharge: If Canadian duties and taxes are assessed by customs and DDP was not included, Canada Post collects the fees upon delivery, plus an additional $9.95 surcharge. That extra surcharge could end up being a large percentage of the overall product cost, cutting further into the seller’s margin.
How GlobalPost’s USPS Canada DDP service works:
It’s easy. When preparing a First Class Package International Service label to Canada in Stamps.com, open the Duties/Taxes drop down menu and select “Prepay Duties and Taxes.” That’s all there is to it.
Note: If you are using Stamps.com Software for your PC, you must upgrade to the latest version of the software to use Canada DDP. Download now.
