Leaders of package shipping and mailing groups said USPS should concentrate on last-mile delivery rather than filling out its middle-mile network.
U.S. Postal Service stakeholders called on the agency to pause its “Delivering for America” overhaul and roll back changes impacting parcel consolidators during a House of Representatives subcommittee hearing on June 24.
Speakers at the hearing, which included leaders at package shipping and commercial mailing industry groups, criticized the 10-year plan launched under former Postmaster General Louis DeJoy in 2021. Reasons included negative impacts to on-time delivery performance and additional costs incurred through heavy investments in its processing network.
