The U.S. Postal Service has proposed a 9-12% increase to the shipping service used by Amazon.com. The Parcel Select Service, which is also used by United Parcel Service and FedEx, is the last and typically the most expensive step in the shipping process that gets the packages to customers' doorsteps. The USPS proposed a 9.3 percent increase on this service for packages weighing over one pound and a 12.3 percent increase to lighter packages.
