Americans could see their mail delivery hours change significantly as the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) looks to update times to improve mail efficiency.
The USPS aims to improve its reliability and productivity, and the changes would apply to those living 50 miles outside of a USPS regional processing and distribution center.
“The proposed operational changes will modernize our ground transportation network to reflect changing customer needs, reduce costs to become financially self-sufficient, and provide more predictable and reliable service while maintaining our commitment to delivering First-Class Mail and USPS Ground Advantage to every household in the United States within 5 days,” said a USPS fact sheet on the proposed changes.
Those living in these regions would have their mail collected only at certain times to streamline drivers’ deliveries and boost the USPS’s overall efficiency.
