The Postal Service is proposing to change how First Class Mail and USPS Marketing Mail flats are prepared, making it optional to sort them by 5-digit, 3-digit, and ADC (Area Distribution Center) when creating bundles and trays. This change aims to encourage the creation of full flat trays and reduce the number of bundles in the mailstream. The modifications are set to take effect on May 1, 2025, and the Postal Service is seeking public comments on the proposal until March 7, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Postal Service wants to change how some mail is sorted so that people have the choice to do it a new way, which might make things faster and easier. They are asking people to share what they think about this idea before they go ahead with the change.
