USPS updates agreements


USPS has signed new agreements with package consolidators to adapt to a changing postal market and change the usage of negotiated service agreements. Under the new deal, USPS will discontinue its discounted rates offerings for packages entered by consolidators at post office delivery units.

 

These rates may have acted as incentives to aggregate mail volume from multiple shippers before bringing this volume to USPS delivery units. This left the final mile, often resource-intensive, up to USPS to manage. Contracts with the package consolidators have now been adapted in line with this decision.

 

As part of the company’s current business strategy, it is focusing on its ten-year “delivering for America plan” instead. This will see it moving volume from air to ground transport, enhancing its delivery fleet with EVs and improving infrastructure. (mk)
