That’s because the USPS is set to reduce its reliance on planes to transport mail as part of a broader cost-saving effort, instead shifting some deliveries within the continental US to ground transportation. That “means mail delivery will be slower than in the 1970s,” for an estimated 40 percent of first-class mail, Paul Steidler, an expert on the postal service and supply chains at the Lexington Institute, told CBS. Prior to the changes, customers throughout the US could expect first-class mail to reach its destination in one to three days now, that timeframe will extend to between one and five days. The most widespread and significant change will affect first-class mail - things like letters, small packages, bills, and tax documents. The United States Postal Service started slowing its mail delivery on Friday, part of an effort by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to cut costs over the next 10 years.
