USPS has new delivery standards

On Oct. 1, the Postal Service made changes to the delivery of certain mail.

Most First-Class Mail (61 percent) and Periodicals (93 percent) will be unaffected by the new service standard changes, says USPS. Standards for single-piece First-Class Mail traveling within a local area will continue to be two days.

The Postal Service will increase time‐in‐transit standards by 1 or 2 days for certain mail that is traveling longer distances. “By doing so, the Postal Service can entrust its ground network to deliver more First-Class Mail, which will lead to greater consistency, reliability, and efficiency that benefits its customers,” says USPS.

The changes are part of the Postal Service’s Delivering for America Strategic Plan. The changes are a “necessary step towards achieving our goal of consistently meeting 95 percent service performance,” says USPS.
