New Priority Mail Contract Filed
The USPS filed to add Priority Mail Contract 940 to the Competitive Product List (filing accepted October 22, 2025). If you or your business use Priority Mail, this filing may create a new negotiated contract option that could change the choices available to shippers and may lead to different prices for sending Priority Mail.
New Fulfillment Product Proposed
The USPS filed to add a new Fulfillment standardized distinct product (PM-GA Contract 889) to the Competitive product list (filing accepted October 22, 2025). Businesses that use fulfillment or shipping services may get a new standardized fulfillment product option, which could change available service features and potentially affect prices for using fulfillment services.
