US Postal Service to slow some mail deliveries in October
/The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) on Friday finalized a plan to slow down some first-class mail deliveries starting Oct. 1 as part of efforts to cut red ink. The plan, proposed by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy in March, will revise the existing one to three day service standards to one to five days. USPS said that 61% of first-class mail would remain at its current standard. The federal agency said delivery standards would be slower for about 7% of periodicals.
