#USPS #ShippingDates #ShippingRates Changes coming to the USPS: Shift in postmark dates and shipping price hikes Some mail sent through they may no longer receive a postmark dated the same day it is mailed. The shift comes as USPS moves ahead with operational updates tied to its long-term transformation plan, which also includes pricing changes scheduled for 2026. In a statement on its website, USPS said adjustments to transportation operations mean some mail may arrive at those processing facilities later than in the past — which can affect the date reflected on a postmark. Most postmarks are applied by machines at originating processing facilities, not at local [post offices](https://nypost.com/2025/11/20/us-news/long-island-postal-worker-helps-ice-detainee-escape-then-berates-agents-in-bilingual-rant-feds/), the agency said. As a result, the date printed on a postmark may reflect when the mail is processed, rather than when a customer dropped it off or a carrier collected it. Martha Johnson, a USPS spokesperson based in Washington, DC, told Fox News Digital the update is intended to clarify what postmarks indicate and when they are applied. https://alto.gab.com/feed/new-york-post/item/39679
