Hello,
I know that Priority Mail is going up in July. Does anyone know the new rates or a website that lists them? Thanks for your help, I'm trying to plan ahead.

I don't believe Priority Mail is going up in July. Postcards will be going up 1 penny and extra ounce First Class will be 23 cents.
Here's their press release dated May 8:

Priority rates are increased. Starting at 3 pounds. Increase is more dramatic as weight and zone increases.
The 15 pound rate, which is important for parcels weighing less than 15 pounds but over 84" in girth plus length, goes from:
10.30 13.05 13.55 14.55 18.05 22.05
to
10.45 13.65 14.20 16.65 19.00 23.45
The rate for 6 pounds goes from:
7.90 8.10 8.15 8.25 9.50 10.35
to:
8.10 8.30 8.35 8.50 9.55 10.40
UPS and FedEx don't traditionally increase their rates outside of February, but they may adjust their fuel surcharge. The USPS rate increase just makes UPS and FedEx much more viable.
