Fee change log

Dated changes to the fees the calculators use, newest first: what changed in plain words, the platform’s own page, and the day it was verified. A change appears here only once the platform’s own pages confirm it. Before 2024 the log lists the changes behind the fee index, from archived copies of those pages.

How this log is kept

Sources

Only the platform’s own pages count: its help center, fee and policy pages, official blog or newsroom — and for postage, USPS’s Postal Explorer price notices, Domestic Mail Manual and newsroom. Each row links the page it comes from, with that page’s own date when it shows one.

Changes reported by news sites, forums or other calculators wait until the platform’s own page confirms them. A page revision that doesn’t say what changed isn’t logged as a change.

For what each platform kept on the same sale month by month since 2020, see the fee index.

Verification

Each row shows the day it was last verified against its source; the most recent check was on . Fee sources are re-read at least once a month and whenever a change is announced; an announced change is added before it takes effect, so the calculators switch on the effective date, and the row moves out of “Coming up” on that date.

If a row turns out to be wrong, it is corrected on the row with a dated note.

The before-and-after bars

Where the calculators can work out the same example before and after a change, the row shows both, drawn to scale. The house example is a $50 item, $8 shipping charged, $8 label, 8% sales tax; postage rows use the package named on the row.

Follow the log in a feed reader with the Atom feed: one entry per change, each with a permanent id. The email newsletter (sign-up at the foot of this page) announces new guides and tools, not each change in this log. The full method is in the Editorial Policy.
