USPS 2016 Rates Change

In 2016 the USPS will be increasing their rates for everyone. At VIPparcel we’re always dedicated to bringing you the best rates possible. We would like to explain what exactly will be happening on January 17th, 2016. The January 2016 rate changes represent the first price increase for commercial USPS Priority Mail® in over three years. So, although the average price increase for Priority Mail looks high at 9.8 percent for 2016, that averages out to less than 3.3 percent per year since the last rate increase. Secondly, the USPS is removing Commercial Plus Pricing and will be priced within 3% of Commercial Base pricing. 

Shipping discount increase

At VIPparcel we are always working on providing the best discounts for our customers, and for this holiday season expect to have larger savings than ever. We offer the following discounts and features:

• Priority Domestic discounts above Commercial Base (higher than industry standard).
• 18% off Priority Express International.
• 14% off Priority International.
• ZERO monthly or annual costs. You will never have to pay to keep your discounts. 

New Mail Classes And Updated Insurance Available

We are excited to announce that VIPparcel has a ton of new features and mail classes to use for your convenience. We have even updated our insurance to provide you the best prices around. Unprecedented in the industry, we offer $50 First-Class Domestic coverage for only $.50. It’s considerably less than purchasing insurance from the USPS or any other insurance company.
