UPS is in talks with the U.S. Postal Service to potentially reinstate a delivery partnership for its UPS Ground Saver service, which previously relied on USPS for lower-cost shipping but was brought in-house this year due to cost and reliability issues. CEO Carol Tomé indicated that new USPS leadership and excess capacity are factors in the discussions. UPS has faced unexpected costs from managing all Ground Saver deliveries, with a significant drop in volume, as part of a strategy to improve profitability in e-commerce. The outcome of these talks remains uncertain.
