🌟 About This Video 🌟
The United States Postal Service proposed a temporary 8% fuel surcharge on select package services, seeking approval from the Postal Regulatory Commission amid rising transportation and energy costs. If approved, the USPS fuel surcharge would start April 26 and run through January 17, 2027, covering Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, and Parcel Select. First‑Class Mail and stamps would not be affected. USPS calls the fee a “necessary bridge” as diesel jumped from $3.75 to $5.37 per gallon in a month; crude prices also rose. FedEx and UPS already levy fuel surcharges; USPS says its proposal is lower. Postmaster General David Steiner noted nearly $1.3 billion in Q1 fiscal 2026 losses after $9.5 billion in 2024 and $9 billion in 2025. #usps #fuelsurcharge #mailservice #postalservice #financialstability
