UPS raised their prices by 4.9% on Dec 28th, and Fed Ex prices are going up by 4.9% on Jan 7. The Postal Service's overall increase across the board averages around 2.5%, which is roughly equal to the 2018 rate of inflation. The Postal Service is limited, by law, to limit rate increases to the inflation rate.
Another thing to remember about the Postal Service is - each year, because of population growth, the Postal Service adds 1.1 million new delivery points. This means 1000's of new clerks and carriers need to be hired, new machinery is purchased, and additional vehicles are needed.
