Has everyone heard? This will add an additional cost to all swap packages we send, and postage rates are already high.

8%
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has announced a temporary 8% surcharge on package shipping starting April 26, 2026, and will remain in effect until January 17, 2027. This adjustment is due to rising transportation costs, including higher fuel prices. The surcharge will apply to Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, and Parcel Select, but will not affect first-class stamps or other products. This change aims to help the USPS cover its costs and ensure financial sustainability in the long term.
