The U.S. Postal Service has increased its direct business from shippers, reporting a 16.1% rise in volume and 27% in revenue for its Ground Advantage service. Over 1,000 contracts have been secured, with many more in progress, reflecting an effective sales strategy. However, the agency experienced a 3.1% drop in its Parcel Services due to shifting strategies among consolidators in response to price increases. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy emphasized that these changes are crucial for the agency’s financial turnaround, despite facing scrutiny from regulators and industry groups.
