Summary

New Priority Mail Shipping Deal
The Postal Service filed to add a new Negotiated Service Agreement for Priority Mail and USPS Ground Advantage. If you run a small business that ships with those services, you could see new negotiated pricing options become available under this contract.
Availability Pending PRC Approval
The new domestic shipping contract will be added to the Negotiated Service Agreements list only after the Postal Regulatory Commission approves the Postal Service's filing. That means businesses will not see the new contract pricing until the Commission gives its approval.
