Changes to USPS delivery standards are expected to cause delays in mail delivery for many Americans as early as this weekend.
That means letters, packages and magazines traveling longer distances could take up to five days to get to their intended destinations, instead of two or three.
DeJoy has made clear he wants more mail delivered by truck, instead of air. As part of his new plan, mail goes through surface transfer centers, or STCs, where the mail is handled and sorted, before it is loaded on to outgoing delivery trucks. But Karol noted there are often delays in the mail leaving the facilities.
Lori Cash, president of the American Postal Workers Union Western New York Area 183, said for the past four months, her customers have expressed similar concerns about un-trackable mail, that appears to at least temporarily fall of the grid. “Under the new system, I’ve seen Priority Mail that used to be a two-day expected delivery time now takes four days,” she said.
“This is a step backward for the Postal Service and for millions across the country who rely on speedy mail service. The union remains convinced that the service standard changes will only drive away mail volume and much-needed postal revenue.”, worries the new system could erode trust in the post office and in government.
