The Postal Service has released its Annual Report to Congress for fiscal year 2025.
Highlights of the report, which covers Oct. 1, 2024-Sept. 30, 2025, include:
• Total mail and package volume decreased 3.3 percent from fiscal year 2024, but total revenue with investment and interest income increased 1.1 percent;
• The number of delivery points rose 1.1 percent to 170.4 million;
• Larger delivery vehicles were deployed, enabling carriers to deliver greater volumes of packages to more addresses; and
• Processing and transportation networks were integrated into a unified system, allowing mail and packages to travel together on the same schedules.
The report also includes introductory comments from Postmaster General David Steiner and Amber McReynolds, chair of the USPS Board of Governors, and can be found on usps.com’s About USPS page.
They need to cut Saturday delivery, and soon. This ability to borrow like the private sector doesn’t hold water; they’ve hit their limit and you don’t lend more to an entity that hasn’t paid anything back. They also want to try some accounting trick to reap higher investment returns. The bottom line is the USPS needs to bring in more or equal revenue than it spends, and soon.
