In addition to the above changes, USPS is seeking to change the additional-ounce price for single piece letters from 28 cents currently, to 29 cents.

Following a recent directive from the Postal Regulatory Commission, the Postal Service is filing two sets of prices for Marketing Mail and Package Service products. While only one set of rates will go into effect on July 13^th, these prices address the pending proposal to eliminate Bound Printed Matter and expand Marketing Mail. USPS will release additional communications to address price changes in these categories.
