First-Class Mail Parcel rates changing

Effective August 28, 2016, the U.S. Postal Service^® (USPS^®) will change the Retail Rate for First-Class Mail^® Parcel service 1-3 ounce weights from $2.45 to $2.62. The rate for Endicia customers will now be $2.60. Why? Endicia continues to automatically ensure customers pay the lowest price, and in the case of this price change, the First-Class Package Service Commercial Base price for these packages is now lower than the new Retail Rate for First-Class Mail Parcel. The delivery times for First-Class Package Service and First-Class Mail Parcel are exactly the same, so there will be no change to the level of service you receive. No software update is necessary to get the lowest rate.
