Still swimming in red ink, the USPS said it will raise some postage prices in 2027 to offset elevated fuel costs.

The U.S. Postal Service on Thursday said it will permanently raise postage rates next year to cover higher fuel costs.

The USPS will make a temporary 8% surcharge on select postage prices, originally introduced in April, permanent in 2027, and also tack on a 3% price increase. The USPS Board of Governors, which oversees the agency’s policies, approved the 11% hike, according to the USPS.

The changes will take effect on Jan. 17, 2027.

“The USPS governors believe these new rates will keep the Postal Service competitive while providing the agency with much needed revenue as it continues to struggle with financial issues,” the agency said in a statement.

    not all of the Oshkosh NGDVs are electric. which is kinda sad.

    Also, they really should have painted the front safety-yellow. You know. For safety. (Certainly not to lean into the duckmobile thing.)
