Nonprofit Postal Rate Recommendations Ignored

Priority Mail Flat-Rate Box — The PRC recommended a rate of $9.15 for the Priority Mail Flat-Rate Box, which is $1.05 above the current rate and 35 cents higher than the USPS proposal of $8.80. The Governors said they felt a rate below $9.00 would be more appropriate for this popular consumer and business product and would be cost-justified.
