The Postal Service has filed a request with the Postal Regulatory Commission to include a new contract for domestic shipping services in its list of competitive products. This contract, known as Contract 850, will add options for Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, and USPS Ground AdvantageĀ®. The request was filed following the regulations outlined in 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 3632(b)(3) and will become part of the Mail Classification Schedule's Competitive Products List. The documents related to this filing can be found on the Postal Regulatory Commission's website.
Simple Explanation
The Postal Service wants to make a special deal to offer packages that travel faster or cost less with options like Priority Mail. This deal is still being looked at, and some details about it are missing, but it might make sending mail cheaper or quicker for some people.
