The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has announced plans to open its last-mile delivery network to a wider range of shippers as part of a strategy to raise funds and address potential cash shortages. Postmaster General has indicated hopes for participation from major companies like Amazon in the bidding process. This initiative aims to boost revenue amidst concerns of a significant cash crunch anticipated as early as 2027. By allowing all shippers, including retailers, to bid for access, USPS is looking to enhance delivery options, particularly in low-population areas, while generating much-needed income to sustain operations.
