Your USPS Packages Might Arrive Even Slower

It feels like it’s been taking forever to get our mail, and now our USPS packages could arrive even slower. Currently, the U.S. Postal Service currently considers a first-class package to be late if it’s delivered more than three days after it was sent, however under next month’s new standards, more than 30% of first-class packages will be seen as delivered on time if they arrive within four or five days. In recognizing these delays, USPS spokesperson Kim Frum stated: “The Postal Service is continually looking for ways to improve performance and provide customers with consistent, cost-effective, and reliable service. Modifying service standards would allow for additional transport time and increased efficiencies across the networks.” No more last-minute orders!
