The United States Postal Service filed notice of price changes to take effect January 26, 2020. The proposed changes would raised Mailing Services product prices by approximately 1.9 percent, and Shipping Services price increases would vary by product.

Priority Mail Express would increase 3.5 percent and Priority mail would increase approximately 4.1 percent. The Governors believe new rates will help keep the Postal Service competitive while providing the agency with additional revenue.

If these changes are approved, the new prices will not change the price of “Forever Stamps,” which will still be 55 cents. Single-piece letter additional ounce price will also remain unaffected, at 15 cents. Prices of postcard stamps would remain 35 cents.

Proposed Price Changes:

Mailing Services prices for Letters (1 oz.) will remain 55 cents, letters (metered 1 oz.) will also be priced the same at 50 cents, flats (1 oz.) will remain one dollar, and domestic postcards will stay 35 cents. The only impact the proposed changes will have on Mailing Services will be on outbound international letters (1 oz.), which will raise from $1.15 to $1.20.

The proposed domestic Priority Mail Flat Rate Retail price changes will have more of an impact. Small flat-rate boxes will increase from $7.90 to $8.30. Medium flat-rate boxes will increase from $14.35 to $15.05. Large flat-rate boxes will change from $19.95 to 21.10. APO/FPO large flat-rate boxes will increase to $19.60. Legal flat-rate envelopes will be priced at $8.05. Padded flat-rate envelopes will increase from $8.00 to $8.40.

The Postal Service has some of the lowest postage rates. These proposed prices will be reviewed before they are scheduled to take effect on January 26, 2020.

“Will using refilled cartridges void my printer warranty?”

They won’t. US Federal law prohibits any company from voiding your warranty for using alternative cartridges. Consumer rights are protected by law.

While companies may try to deny your business service if they see you are using another brand’s ink cartridges, it is illegal for a company to require you to purchase their cartridges. The only instance where a printer manufacturer can void the warranty is if it is found that the refilled cartridge is the cause of printer damage.

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act

Know your consumer rights!

The manufacturer of your printer cannot void your warrant for using a cartridge produced by someone other than the manufacturer. You are NOT required to use the O.E.M. printer ink or toner.

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act is intended to prevent companies from threatening consumers into purchasing their products. This Act allows the consumer the right of free choice of vendor. You are acting within the law when you purchase outside of the manufacturer’s brand.

This Act states “No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumer’s using, in condition with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade, or corporate name.”

The Act continues to state the only times in which this is waived is if:

1. The warrantor satisfies the Commission that the warranted product will function properly only if the article or service so identified is used in connection with the warranted product, and
2. The commission finds that such a waiver is in the public interest.

This Act is intended to protect you as a consumer. Use it to your benefit! Unless one of the waiver conditions is met, you have full control of the cartridges you purchase.

Supreme Court Ruling

In May 2017, a U.S. Supreme Court decision legally validated ink cartridge refill services. This ruling essentially stated patent laws can’t be used to prevent reselling. This decision limited the control of patent holders on their products after they are sold.

Because of this ruling, ink cartridge refill services are now protected from patent infringement claims. Refurbishing, repairing, and reselling used products is now legal. The ruling also emphasized manufacturers are not legally able to force customers to buy supplies only from the original source.

This ruling changed the legality of refurbishing and reselling cartridges. Refurbished and refilled cartridges are entirely legal.

The Sherman and Clayton Antitrust Law

The Supreme court case of IBM vs. The United States held that IBM could not legally terminate data processing leases of customers for not using supplies manufactured by IBM. You are not required to use O.E.M. ink or toner, and it is illegal for a manufacturer to threaten to terminate your lease or void your warranty.

What this Means for You

Printer manufacturers can’t force you to purchase supplies directly from them nor can they void your warranty. You have rights as a consumer, and you are legally entitled to purchasing the ink and toner of your choice. Refurbished and refilled cartridges ARE legal, and you should not allow manufacturers to threaten your lease or warranty for utilizing your rights as a consumer!

Printer manufacturers are aware that lower priced cartridges exist. They know that many of their current customers do not know their legal rights and may threaten to void warranties as a result of the use of other manufacturers products. This is illegal! Know your rights – your freedom of choice as a consumer is protected by U.S. law.

With a bigger emphasis on “reuse, reduce, and recycle,” many businesses are beginning to consider their environmental impact. From paper to ink, to the cartridges used in print machines, many of these items end up in landfills. By making small changes in daily business activities, we can all do our part in protecting the environment.

Impact

Ink cartridges can take anywhere from 500 to 1,000 years to fully decompose. Most ink cartridges are thrown out after use. Many people don’t know that these cartridges can be reused multiple times, cutting down on the amount of waste produced.

Refurbished and refilled ink cartridges work just as well as brand new cartridges – so why not switch? Beyond the monetary savings of switching to refurbished cartridges, the environmental impact could be significant if more businesses realized their environmental impact.

What you can do

Reduce! Reuse! Recycle!

These three points are repeated so often that you would think it’s second nature to lessen our environmental impact, yet so much paper and plastic ends up in landfills after a single use.

By choosing to buy cartridges from Roar Postal Supplies, you cut down on the waste of purchasing a brand-new cartridge. Our cartridges go through an extensive process that ensures they are cleaned out and ready to be refilled with our USPS-approved ink.

Beyond the simple step of “using less,” think about how reusing these products can create an even more significant overall impact. So many cartridges are in circulation currently- why let them go to waste when they can be reused upward of five more times?

Roar Postal Supplies offers the ability to reuse ink cartridges, making a difference not only in your expenses, but in your sustainability. Save on postage supplies, and help save the environment.
