The revisions will automatically take effect on February 12, 2021, unless any objections are raised before that date.

    The Postal Service has announced a new rule that stops the use of dual shipping labels starting January 1, 2025. Dual shipping labels, which let shippers choose between the Postal Service and a private carrier, will no longer be accepted and might be returned. While some responses to the proposed rule asked for more time to adjust, the effective date remains unchanged, though certain mailers can apply for a 90-day extension. The rule also clarifies that a label will not be considered a dual shipping label if any extra information included does not identify another delivery service.

    Simple Explanation

    The Postal Service says people can't use shipping labels that let them pick either the post office or another delivery company anymore after January 1, 2025, but some can ask for a little extra time to switch if they need it.
