Starting Friday, the Postal Service will implement new service standards for First Class Mail and Periodicals, spokeswoman Kim Frum said in an email to USA TODAY. The changes mean an increased time-in-transit for mail traveling long distances, such as from New York to California. Frum said that most first class mail (61%) and periodicals (93%) will be unaffected by the changes. Single-piece first-class mail traveling within the same region will still have a delivery time of two days. The Postal Service defines first-class mail as standard sized letters and flats, Frum said. Thats different from first-class packages, which are typically used for shipping smaller, lightweight packages. Currently, first-class mail and first-class packages have the same delivery standards, but that will change beginning Friday. The changes to service standard times are part of the Postal Service's 10-year strategic plan, which was announced by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy in March. The plan has drawn heavy criticism from elected officials. DeJoy took his position in June 2020 despite no previous Postal Service experience. The position of postmaster general is not appointed or nominated by a president but rather appointed by the independent Postal Service Board of Governors. Additionally, starting Oct. 3 through Dec. 26, the Postal Service will temporarily increase prices on all commercial and retail domestic packages because of the holiday season and its increase in mail volume. Those price increases will not affect international products, Frum said. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:958527133] in USPS mail ...

pikachupwnage 09/29/21 1:02:15 PM #35:	metallica846 posted... Its sad. People want Biden to just break all the rules when the last four years was us complaining about Trump doing that. DeJoy will be gone soon enough and it will be done the right way. We shouldnt lower the bar any further than Trump already has when it comes to executive power. The problem is republicans are attacking voting rights and elections themselves. Not just playing dirty but destroying rights and actively substituting reality out for one they like better. If the others not only dont play by the rules but are actively destroying them is it wrong to break them to stop them? They wont accept legitimate results so why bother being legit? If they get a big gain in seats and the presidency they could get a permanent or long term advantage. Imagine an even bigger conservative court majority. --- My Mario Maker 2 Maker ID is J2K-RFD-K4G Even In sigs FOE! http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/665/328/d75.gif <cite>pikachupwnage posted [p:958529864] in USPS mail ...

DeJoy will be gone soon enough and it will be done the right way. We shouldnt lower the bar any further than Trump already has when it comes to executive power.</quote> The problem is republicans are attacking voting rights and elections themselves. Not just playing dirty but destroying rights and actively substituting reality out for one they like better. If the others not only dont play by the rules but are actively destroying them is it wrong to break them to stop them? They wont accept legitimate results so why bother being legit?

If they are that essential then people should be making sure they have adequate time to reach the destination. Its not the post offices fault people cant be bothered to plan ahead. Humans are selfish. Everyone thinks their package is essential when in reality most of it isnt. This is an easily fixed issue anyway. Fax machines have existed forever. Most phones have apps to scan documents electronically. There is no reason we should still have to physically mail documents for them to be verified.

You have no fucking clue what youre talking. FedEx couldnt hope to handle that kind of volume. They already have plenty of shipments they give to USPS because they cant service them.
