The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is discontinuing rate discounts for major shipping partners delivering packages to its facilities, part of its “Delivering for America” strategy. New agreements with package consolidators like DHL eCommerce will focus on maximizing USPS network efficiency rather than incentivizing delivery to the last stop. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy emphasized the need for an efficient network, warning that increased volume upstream could strain USPS operations, potentially causing delivery delays. Despite concerns, USPS has secured contracts that align with its strategic goals.
