The U.S. Postal Service will be changing shipping rates on January 22, 2017. This shipping calculator turns the near-indecipherable USPS rate charts into an easy to use tool for updating your shipping profiles and listings.
Notable for 2017 are increases for domestic shipments – including First Class, Parcel Select, Priority Mail, and Express Mail. The rates for international services remain the same. Take a look at my domestic shipping article if you need a crash course in weighing and packaging.
The rates shown below are commercial base pricing offered by Etsy, PayPal and other online vendors. Be sure to check the prices against your vendor to make sure they’re using commercial prices. Expect to pay more if you show up at the post office without postage. Pricing for flat rate items is included in the table below.
