The United States Postal Service announced a plan to file a request with the Postal Regulatory Commission. This request seeks to add a new domestic shipping services contract, known as Contract 1179, to a list of Competitive Products in their Mail Classification Schedule. The filing was made on December 20, 2024, and additional details, including documentation, can be found on the Postal Regulatory Commission's website under specific docket numbers.
Simple Explanation
The Postal Service wants to change how they deliver packages by adding a special agreement to make shipping more competitive, kind of like having a secret menu at a restaurant, but they haven't said yet what it means for everyone or who will like it most.
