I was under the impression that in January the USPS rates would decrease, and that the last increase, a few months back was for the holidays so the money grubbers could make a few extra dollars.
I guess get used to it. I doubt I will live long enough to see any rate decrease by any carrier. With inflation running around 3% per year, rates will continue climbing.
Definitely annoying. But the majority of things continue to go up. My property taxes went up 8% this year. Lean ground beef is now $11 per pound where I live. Average car price is now over $50,000........ And on and on it goes.

If you think USPS are "money grubbers" then why don't you use UPS or Fedex instead?
I am willing to bet there is a good reason for that.

Hang on to your hat, it could get worse in 2027. USPS put in a request to the board of governors to remove rate increase caps and let them raise rates as the market defines anytime during the year.
