USPS reports strong holiday performance, record package handling capacity!

It is learned that recently, USPS (United States Postal Service) stated that according to its preliminary data, its package transportation performance between October 1 and December 23 was very strong.

The USPS also said the strong holiday season performance reflects the company's strategic investments and operational precision improvements made in its "Serve America" ​​delivery program over the past two years.

However, the winter storm did have some negative impacts on the USPS. The USPS said that since the winter storm hit the Midwest and East Coast of the United States in late December and caused industry-wide transportation disruptions, cargo deliveries in some markets were also affected. In the future, the USPS will gradually resume services in the affected areas.

The USPS also reported on the actions it is taking to prepare for the holiday rush:

In November, USPS installed 137 new package sorting machines in the United States, expanding its daily package processing capacity to 60 million pieces. Since the launch of the "Serve America" ​​program in March 2021, USPS has installed a total of 249 new package sorting machines. The "Serve America" ​​program is part of USPS's plan to invest $40 billion in the transportation network.

Since the beginning of 2021, the USPS has converted more than 100,000 workers to full-time. Of these, more than 41,000 part-time workers have been converted to full-time since January 2022. The USPS has also successfully hired 20,000 seasonal employees, stabilizing its permanent workforce.
