US Postal Service Ends Discounts for Shipping Consolidators

The move aims to boost USPS revenues and efficiency, potentially raising consumer costs.

The USPS will no longer offer discounted rates to shipping consolidators like UPS and DHL.
This change is part of a broader effort to modernize the USPS network and achieve financial sustainability.
Consolidators currently account for about a quarter of USPS's total parcel volume, moving around 2 billion packages annually.
USPS Postmaster General Louis DeJoy stated that the change is necessary to cut losses and adapt to shifting shipping habits.
The decision could lead to higher shipping costs for consumers as consolidators may pass on the increased expenses.
