Breaking: USPS Continues to Struggle with Delivery Delays

On-Time Delivery Rates Drop as New Transportation Schedule Takes Effect

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is facing ongoing challenges with delivery delays, as its new transportation schedule continues to impact operations. Despite initial reports of delivery rates stabilizing, the Postal Service is seeing a decrease in on-time delivery performance.

Factors Hindering Delivery

The main factor contributing to the delays is the implementation of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy's new transportation schedule, which aimed to reduce costs. However, the Postal Service has been slow to adapt to the changes, resulting in backlogs and delayed mail.

Other factors contributing to the delays include a shortage of workers, increased mail volume due to the pandemic, and operational disruptions caused by COVID-19 protocols.
