The U.S. Postal Service anticipates a 9.4% increase in package delivery revenue, contributing to an overall projected revenue growth of 2.9% for fiscal year 2026. This growth is expected despite a significant 42% drop in revenue from international mail services. Efforts to enhance package delivery include encouraging shippers to utilize its services more effectively, alongside planned rate increases. However, the Postal Service also expects a decline in work hours and total mail volume as part of efficiency initiatives, with ongoing efforts to reduce labor costs, including early retirement offers for employees.
