USPS ends discounts for shipping consolidators, potentially raising consumer shipping costs.
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will discontinue discounts for shipping consolidators like UPS and DHL, aiming to reduce financial losses and improve operational efficiency. This change may lead to higher shipping costs for consumers, as consolidators could pass on expenses. USPS plans to transition from approximately 10,000 package drop-off locations to around 500 large hubs. This decision is part of a broader strategy for financial sustainability, spearheaded by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.
