The Postal Service expanded its market test of MetroPost same-day package delivery service to parts of the New York City metropolitan area. MetroPost was introduced in San Francisco in 2012 to meet the needs of eCommerce shoppers who want items delivered on the same day they bought them. Businesses pay a fee to have packages picked up in the afternoon and delivered to customers by that evening. Types of businesses that have used MetroPost include large retailers, florists and specialty food stores.
