USPS Debuts New ‘USPS Connect’ Services in San Bernardino/Riverside

Offers Affordable Same-Day & Next-Day Delivery Options

RIVERSIDE, CA —The U.S. Postal Service launched its new USPS Connect delivery services at Post Offices across California today, including 28 in the San Bernardino/Riverside region. The list of those 28 participating local Post Offices is below.

USPS Connect is a set of four delivery solutions that leverage ongoing network improvements, new equipment, new pricing and enhanced operational precision to meet evolving business package delivery needs.

USPS Connect provides businesses of all sizes what they have been asking for — an affordable way to meet consumer demand for fast delivery,” said Louis DeJoy, Postmaster General and CEO. “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.”

“I’m very excited to try out USPS Connect,” said Glen Garcia, owner of San Diego online retailer BlkMarket Drops. “Rising fuel costs, schedule conflicts, and the distance between my customers have been a big deterrent to my local sales. With USPS Connect Local, I’ll be able to provide my local customers with same-day or next-day shipping, at low rates. I see so much potential for increasing my sales while reducing my overhead. Thank you, USPS!”

The USPS Connect program offers several solutions to help businesses of all sizes meet growing consumer demand for affordable, fast local, regional, and national deliveries and returns.  

California is one of several states in the nationwide rollout to make one of the four solutions – USPS Connect Local – available in select locations. The rollout schedule is available on uspsconnect.com.

The four USPS Connect business solutions are:

  • USPS Connect Local is a new way for local businesses to affordably and quickly reach local customers. The rollout schedule is available on uspsconnect.com . USPS Connect Local offers affordable next-day service in all locations, with same-day delivery, Sunday delivery and pickup options in select locations. This offering also includes USPS Connect Local Mail, an affordable First-Class Mail option for documents up to 13 ounces. Businesses can enter USPS Connect Local packages and mail at the receiving dock of the designated postal facility or take advantage of free en-route pickup when their carrier delivers their mail. Free flat-rate bags, boxes and envelopes are available via Click-N-Ship.
  • USPS Connect Regional provides next-day regional entry and delivery of Parcel Select packages and Parcel Select Lightweight packages. Businesses should consult with USPS representatives to identify the entry points and options that work best for them. Most packages will be delivered the next day within a specified region.
  • USPS Connect National provides delivery solutions for businesses of all sizes. They can benefit from the Postal Service’s new mail processing equipment and reconfigured network to receive reliable delivery of packages through First-Class Package Service, Parcel Select Ground and Retail Ground.
  • USPS Connect Returns is a service for businesses to offer their customers convenient returns, with free en-route pickup by their carrier or drop-off at a nearby Post Office location.

“We’ve listened carefully to our business customers to develop this program,” said Jakki Krage Strako, chief commerce and business solutions officer. “We’re increasing next-day deliveries. We’re also giving smaller businesses big-business rates and all businesses more user-friendly ways to interact with us.”
