Washington, D.C. - The Package Coalition has launched a $2M-plus national television and radio campaign airing a 30-second spot warning Americans of the threat of a package tax proposal circulating in Washington. The package tax would raise rates to ship a package with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) for small businesses and other brick-and-mortar and online retailers by 400 percent.

A 60 second radio spot will also start airing nationally on May 7th, running initially for two weeks.

The package tax would raise rates 400 percent to ship a package with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) for families, seniors, small businesses and other brick-and-mortar and online retailers.

I believe they are calling a rate increase a tax.

If you look at who is in the “Coalition”, you’ll get your questions answered. Mostly, it’s Amazon, eBay and a lot of other large mail-order corporations that don’t want to pay the freight.

If this “bill” is a proposition to raise the prices on ALL USPS packages, it would be a disaster to average Americans and small businesses that send a small number of packages per year. My guess is that it is a way to eliminate the super package pricing deals that the big guys now enjoy.

If the latter is the case, I’d be happy to tell my Congress Critters to support the legislation. Although living in the SF area, I doubt it will do any good.
