Offers Affordable Same-Day & Next-Day Delivery Options
SAN DIEGO, CA —The U.S. Postal Service launched its new USPS Connect delivery services at Post Offices across California today, including seven in the San Diego East County region. The list of seven participating East County 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:
“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.”
