They're just doing that to keep up with the USPS rate increase because

I think they're just trying to deal with higher fuel prices. One of my
regional delivery services, Lone Star Overnight, now adds a "Fuel
Surcharge" to all deliveries. It's about $1.50 to $2.00 for a run of
about 180 miles.

It's the same in other industries too. We received a rate increase
from our power company because of fuel costs.
