The proposed increases would bump the cost of mailing periodicals by 8 percent and catalogs by 5.1 percent, while small parcels would balloon by 23.3 percent.
The USPS is hoping to leverage an exigency clause in the 2006 law that would permit an increase in excess of the inflation rate.
"Rather than gouging its customers with 10 times the rate permissible by law, USPS should be eliminating its costs; inflation in postal costs was 6+ percent in 2009," says Jerry Cerasale, of the Affordable Mail Alliance.
