The USPS Board of Governors has named a new Postmaster General, confirming that FedEx board member and ex-Waste Management CEO David Steiner will be taking over the position in July after Louis DeJoy resigned in March.
WASHINGTON, DC — The U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors today announced that they have chosen David Steiner to be America’s 76th Postmaster General and CEO.
Pending the outcome of necessary background and ethics checks, Steiner will succeed former Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who resigned in March, and current Acting Postmaster General Doug Tulino, who will return to his permanent position as Deputy Postmaster General and Chief Human Resources Officer.
We anticipate Steiner will formally join the organization in July, assuming his successful completion of the ethics and security clearance vetting processes.
The Post Office also announced today they will be increasing rates for Competitive shipping products like Priority Mail, Ground Advantage, and Parcel Select, effective July 13, 2025
The changes would raise domestic shipping services prices approximately 6.3 percent for Priority Mail service, 7.1 percent for USPS Ground Advantage and 7.6 percent for Parcel Select. Prices are not changing for Priority Mail Express service.
