The U.S. Postal Service will impose its first-ever surcharge on packages to cover the rising cost of fuel, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The 8% surcharge will begin in April, and the current plan is to phase it out in January 2027, the people said. It will apply to packages but not letter mail.

8. There's nothing more permanent than a "temporary" surcharge.

Same as with "temporary tolls" on a toll road.
