The Postal Service has announced that on November 29, 2024, it submitted a request to the Postal Regulatory Commission. This request is to add a new shipping services contract, called "Priority Mail & USPS Ground Advantage® Contract 489," to the Competitive Products List in the Mail Classification Schedule. Details about this submission can be found on the Postal Regulatory Commission’s website under Docket Nos. MC2025-540 and K2025-538. The announcement indicates that the notice was required to be made by December 17, 2024.
Simple Explanation
The Postal Service wants to make a special deal to send packages that wasn't explained yet, and they told the people in charge about it. But they didn't share who will benefit or any details about the deal, so it's hard to tell if it's a good idea or not.
