February 22, 2022 – the US Postal Service has rolled out a new program, USPS Connect, to provide affordable package and document delivery options for businesses.
Postmaster General DeJoy says, “USPS Connect provides businesses of all sizes what they have been asking for — an affordable way to meet consumer demand for fast delivery.” DeJoy further calls USPS Connect “A Pivotal point in our Delivering for America plan, it positions us to more fully leverage our network capacity to increase volume and revenue so we can continue to serve the American people with affordable, reliable mail and package delivery.”
