Global Express Guaranteed
Global Express Guaranteed (GXG) is the Postal Service's premier
international expedited product provided through an alliance with FedEx
Express[supreg]. The price increase for GXG service averages 7.1
percent.
The Postal Service provides Commercial Base pricing to online
customers who prepare and pay for GXG shipments via USPS-approved
payment methods (with the exception of Click-N-Ship[supreg] service),
with a 5 percent discount off the published retail prices for GXG.
Customers who prepare GXG shipments via Click-N-Ship service will now
pay retail prices.
The Postal Service continues to offer Commercial Plus pricing for
large volume customers who commit to tendering $100,000 in annual
postal revenue from GXG, Priority Mail Express International, Priority
Mail International, and First-Class Package International Service via
USPS-approved payment methods. The Postal Service will also continue to
include GXG in customized Global Expedited Package Services (GEPS)
contracts offered to customers who meet certain revenue thresholds and
are willing to commit a larger amount of revenue in international
postage.
Priority Mail Express International
Priority Mail Express International (PMEI) service provides fast
service to approximately 180 countries. Priority Mail Express
International with Money-Back Guarantee service is available for
certain destinations. The price increase for Priority Mail Express
International service averages 11.6 percent. The Commercial Base price
for customers that prepare and pay for Priority Mail Express
International shipments via permit imprint, online at USPS.com[supreg],
or as registered end-users using an authorized PC Postage vendor (with
the exception of Click-N-Ship service) will be 5 percent below the
retail price. Customers who prepare Priority Mail Express International
shipments via Click-N-Ship service will now pay retail prices. The
Postal Service continues to offer Priority Mail Express International
Commercial Plus pricing to large volume customers who commit to
tendering $100,000 in annual postal revenues from GXG, Priority Mail
Express International, Priority Mail International, and First-Class
Package International Service. The Postal Service will also continue to
include Priority Mail Express International in
[[Page 65140]]
customized Global Expedited Package Services (GEPS) contracts offered
to customers who meet certain revenue thresholds and are willing to
commit a larger amount of revenue in international postage.
We are discontinuing the Priority Mail Express International Flat
Rate Box. Customers who present items at retail to be mailed in a
Priority Mail Express International Flat Rate Box will pay the retail
price based on the item's weight and price group.
Priority Mail Express International flat rate pricing continues to
be available for Flat Rate Envelopes. New this year, the prices for
what was formerly the ``all other countries'' rate group are being
replaced with flat rate prices in seven rate groups, based on
geographical regions.
Priority Mail International
Priority Mail International (PMI) is an economical way to send
merchandise and documents to about 180 countries. The price increase
for Priority Mail International service averages 10.2 percent. The
Commercial Base price for customers that prepare and pay for PMI items
via permit imprint, online at USPS.com, or as registered end-users
using an authorized PC Postage vendor (with the exception of Click-N-
Ship service) will be 5 percent below the retail price. Customers who
prepare Priority Mail International shipments via Click-N-Ship service
will now pay retail prices. The Postal Service continues to offer
Priority Mail International Commercial Plus pricing to large volume
customers who commit to tendering $100,000 in annual postal revenues
from GXG, Priority Mail Express International, Priority Mail
International, and First-Class Package International Service. The
Postal Service will continue to include Priority Mail International in
customized Global Expedited Package Services (GEPS) contracts offered
to customers who meet certain revenue thresholds and are willing to
commit to a larger amount of revenue to the USPS[supreg] for Priority
Mail Express International and Priority Mail International.
Priority Mail International flat rate pricing continues to be
available for Flat Rate Envelopes, Small Flat Rate Priced Boxes, and
Medium and Large Flat Rate Boxes. New this year, the prices for what
was formerly the ``all other countries'' rate group are being replaced
with flat rate prices in seven rate groups, based on geographical
regions.
In this filing, we are proposing a structural change in the way
insurance is provided and reimbursed for Priority Mail International.
Priority Mail International shipments containing merchandise (other
than in Priority Mail International Small Flat Rate Priced Boxes and
Flat Rate Envelopes) will now be insured against loss, damage, or
missing contents up to $200 at no additional charge. Additional
insurance coverage up to a maximum of $5,000 (depending on individual
country insurance limits) may be purchased at the sender's option.
Priority Mail International shipments containing nonnegotiable
documents (other than in Priority Mail International Flat Rate
Envelopes and Small Flat Rate Priced Boxes) will now be insured against
loss, damage, or missing contents up to $100 for document
reconstruction at no additional charge. The insurance coverage will be
provided on all outbound Priority Mail International shipments accepted
at retail or paid for by using postage validation imprinter (PVI)
labels, postage meter imprints, USPS-approved PC Postage, Click-N-Ship
service postage, or permit imprint.
Electronic USPS Delivery Confirmation International service --
abbreviated E-USPS DELCON INTL--is an optional service available for
Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelopes (except for the Gift
Card Flat Rate Envelope) and all Small Flat Rate Priced Boxes to select
destination countries, for customers using select software or online
tools, at no charge. We are adding E-USPS DELCON INTL service to four
countries with this price change: Lebanon, Norway, Slovak Republic, and
Turkey.
In the May 2015 price change, we created new price zones for
Priority Mail International to Canada, based on the distance of the
origin ZIP Code to the serving International Service Center (ISC). An
ISC Zone Chart is now available for a subscription fee from the
National Customer Support Center in Memphis, Tennessee, to support
zone-based pricing for Priority Mail International to Canada. The chart
will enable mailers to determine the applicable zone, based on the
origin ZIP Code. Once the zone and weight of the item are known, the
mailer will be able to determine the applicable postage price.
First-Class Package International Service
First-Class Package International Service (FCPIS) is an economical
international service for small packages weighing less than 4 pounds
and not exceeding $400 in value. The pricing structure for FCPIS will
continue to be simpler than for some other international products, with
identical prices for 0 to 8 ounces within each country price group, and
identical prices for 9 to 32 ounces within each country price group.
The price increase for FCPIS averages 21.6 percent. The Commercial Base
price for customers that prepare and pay for FCPIS items via permit
imprint or by USPS-approved online payment methods will be 5 percent
below the retail price. Customers who prepare First-Class Package
International Service shipments via Click-N-Ship service will now pay
retail prices. Commercial Plus pricing will be available to large
volume customers who commit to tendering $100,000 in annual postal
revenue for GXG, Priority Mail Express International, Priority Mail
International, and First-Class Package International Service.
Electronic USPS Delivery Confirmation International service--
abbreviated E-USPS DELCON INTL--is an optional service available for
First-Class Package International Service items to select destination
countries, for customers using select software or online tools, at no
charge. We are adding E-USPS DELCON INTL service to four countries with
this price change: Lebanon, Norway, Slovak Republic, and Turkey.
International Priority Airmail and International Surface Air Lift
Published prices for International Priority Airmail (IPA) and
International Surface Air Lift (ISAL) will increase by 4.2 percent for
IPA and 3.5 percent for IPA M-bags, as well as 6.3 percent for ISAL and
5.3 percent for ISAL M-bags. The structure of IPA and ISAL price
categories will continue to be priced by the worldwide and 19 country
price groups and applicable mail shapes (letters and postcards, large
envelopes [flats], and packages [small packets and rolls]). These
categories correspond to the Universal Postal Convention requirements
to use shape-based pricing. For IPA and ISAL, the Postal Service offers
incentive pricing through International Negotiated Service Agreements
(NSAs).
International Priority Airmail (IPA) service, including IPA M-bags,
is a bulk commercial service that provides business mailers with rapid
and economical worldwide delivery for volume mailings of First-Class
Mail International postcards, letters, large envelopes (flats), and
FCPIS packages (small packets) weighing up to a maximum 4.4 pounds. IPA
is dispatched to the destination country where it is entered into the
postal administration's air or surface priority mail system for
delivery. The overall
[[Page 65141]]
price increase for IPA service averages 4.2 percent.
International Surface Air Lift (ISAL) service, including ISAL M-
bags, is a bulk commercial service that provides economical worldwide
delivery to business mailers of volume mailings of all First-Class Mail
International postcards, letters, large envelopes (flats), and FCPIS
packages (small packets) weighing up to 4.4 pounds. ISAL is dispatched
to the destination country where it is then entered into the postal
administration's surface nonpriority network for delivery. The overall
price increase for ISAL service averages 6 percent.
Direct Sacks of Printed Matter to One Addressee (Airmail M-Bags)
Airmail M-bags are direct sacks of printed matter sent to a single
foreign addressee at a single address. Prices are based on the weight
of the sack. The price increase for Airmail M-bags averages 9.2
percent.
International Extra Services and Fees
Depending on country destination and mail type, customers may add a
variety of extra services to their outbound shipments. Prices for some
of these extra services are increasing:
[ssquf] International Postal Money Orders will increase 5.6
percent.
[ssquf] International Money Order Inquiry Fee will increase 3.5
percent.
[ssquf] International Money Transfer Service will increase 3.3 to
3.7 percent, depending on the rate cell.
