If you think you have to wait a long time for your mail now, wait until next year. The United States Postal Service announced late last month that it was adjusting some of its mail delivery times to save $3 billion. Under the proposal, USPS’s Ground Advantage program would guarantee five-day delivery and three-day delivery for first-class mail. The plan will lean heavily on USPS’ regional hubs across the country. While it could improve postal box holders' services near those hubs in more urban or suburban areas, it may come at the cost of more timely service in rural areas. According to the Associated Press, 75 percent of first-class-mail will see no changes. If the proposal is approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission this fall, the changes would not come until 2025. The announcement comes after the price of stamps went up a nickel in July, which marked the second time the USPS raised the cost in 2024.
