The agency said the offering will reach about 87% of the U.S. daily by sending packages to its last-mile delivery units overnight.
- The U.S. Postal Service plans to launch a next-day shipping offering geared toward retail and online businesses this year, the agency announced Jan. 6.
- The new service, Next Day Priority, will be able to send packages to thousands of the Postal Service’s last-mile delivery units overnight. It covers addresses within 150 miles of regional processing and distribution centers, reaching about 87% of the U.S. daily.
- Next Day Priority is available through direct agreements with the Postal Service. However, the agency noted there are volume requirements, and it’s looking for shippers “that can meet defined cutoff windows.”
