Background:
The United States Postal Service reported it has installed 131 of 137 new package sorting machines ahead of the holiday mailing and shipping season.
This brings the organization’s total to 249 new processing machines since the launch of the Delivering for America plan in March 2021 and are part of a $40 billion investment in the postal network.
The new equipment combined with increased operational precision will expand USPS’s daily package processing capacity to 60 million.
The Postal Service’s preparedness for the holiday shipping and mailing season reflects strategic investments and operational precision improvements made as part of the Delivering for America plan.
The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
