US Postal Service Plans Major Overhaul to Cut Costs by $3 Billion Annually

Proposed changes will adjust mail delivery times and rely on regional hubs, with no impact on election mail or medications.

The USPS aims to save $3 billion per year by revising delivery time standards and using regional hubs.
Local mail will still be delivered within three days, while long-distance mail may take up to five days.
Election and holiday mail will remain unaffected by the proposed changes, set to begin in 2025.
The agency has faced significant financial losses, with over $87 billion in losses from 2007 to 2020.
Public hearings are scheduled to discuss the changes before final approval by the Postal Regulatory Commission.
