USPS Temporary Rate Increase

Posted by Raye on Sep 3rd 2021

2021 has flown by and the holiday season is nearing!

The United States Postal Service (USPS) will temporarily increase their rates beginning October 3, 2021 through December 26, 2021. The rate increases range from $0.25 - $5.00, depending on the package size/weight, zone & selected service.


Raye's Touch does not want to scare you, our intentions are to prepare you for the holiday season before the rate increase. USPS is not our only option, we also ship via UPS & FedEx, where applicable, plus we offer FREE in-store & curbside pickup.
