“Last year, for a variety of reasons, we were overwhelmed and were not able to meet the demands of the nation,” Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said.
Ron Bloom, the chairman of board, reported that peak season preparations include 92 new package sorting machines, which will be able to process an additional 4.5 million packages a day, as well as the addition of 40,000 seasonal employees.
“We had not met the delivery standard in the past 10 years, and there was no intention to do so,” DeJoy said. As the holiday demand for mail increases, shipping through USPS is temporarily more expensive. The increased prices began on Oct. 3 and will run through Dec. 26 for domestic packages. The increase will not impact international products.
