We came across a snippet of postal information in DM News today and felt it was important to add a quick post to our blog about it.

 Here it is word for word:

“The USPS issued a statement last week which ensures the earliest a new rate case will take effect is March 27. It confirmed the next price change will use the new CPI-capped* rules, adding that mailers will be given at least 90 days’ notice before changes are implemented. USPS Governors will decide when the next change will occur. Future changes will occur annually, on a predictable schedule.”

As soon as we hear about a definite date in 2008 for this new rate case, we’ll add the information to this blog.

The Nonprofit Times recently reported that the USPS will not be pushing forward with a rate case to increase postal fees for nonprofits.

Instead, the USPS’s Board of Governors voted to proceed with the new pricing regulations set by the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006, which caps future price increases at the rate of inflation.

The USPS will now measure its annual price increases according to the seasonally-adjusted Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all urban consumers.
