Show Notes

U.S. Postal Service introduces first-ever fuel surcharge on packages due to soaring gas prices, affecting services like Priority Mail and Ground Advantage. The eight percent surcharge, set to start April 26th and last until January 17th, 2027, is smaller than competitors fees, helping USPS maintain competitive rates. Gas prices are at a record high, with the national average at $3.98 per gallon and California drivers paying the most. The surcharge is linked to supply disruptions from the U.S.-Iran conflict, but recent diplomatic efforts may ease gas bills.
