— which includes longer first-class delivery timelines, reduced post office hours, and higher prices — in March. The proposal still needs approval from the Postal Regulatory Commission, but would cut the amount of mail that is delivered by plane in half. It would also reduce the distance a piece of mail can travel within a day.
Here are the 27 states that would be at least partially impacted: Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, North Dakota, Florida, New York, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Vermount, New Hampshire, Maryland.
Currently, the standard delivery time for USPS packages is about 2-3 days, but the publication reported the new plan would create average delivery times between 2-5 days. Current USPS standards maintain the 2-3 day delivery margin for mail regardless of its destination, but the new policies would mean mail that travels long distances across the US would have standard delivery times between 4-5 days.
Why do they still have daily delivery of paper mail in 2021 for residential mail. 2 days a week and the rest for fast parcel. Govmtn can work w biz to help those still in paper bills to extend due dates.
Montana, where it already takes 4-7 days for mail to get where it is supposed to go... Heck Amazon even as a prime member tends to deliver to Montana residents 2-4 days slower than elsewhere. In other words, the rural communities that rely on parcel delivery for essential goods.
Thanks for the information about USPS new plan & about what states would be at least partially impacted I saw Texas on the list. mail delays
I feel like they don’t understand their client base.
