The Postal Service has filed a request with the Postal Regulatory Commission to add a new domestic shipping services contract to its Competitive Products List. This is part of the Mail Classification Schedule's list of Negotiated Service Agreements. The request, submitted on December 4, 2024, involves the addition of a specific contract for Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, and USPS Ground AdvantageĀ®. More details can be found in the documents available on the Postal Regulatory Commission's website.
Simple Explanation
The Postal Service wants to start a new deal with different shipping options, like special packages and bigger parcels, and needs permission from a special group that checks if it's okay. They didn't say how this new deal will change prices or why they chose this deal, so some people might be confused about what it means for them.
