USPS to Expand Last-Mile Delivery Network

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) wants to open up its last-mile delivery network to more companies.

This is the part where packages are delivered to your home or business.

Right now, they mostly work with big companies like Amazon and UPS.

By opening it up, they hope to make more money and help other companies deliver packages faster and more reliably.

The USPS delivers to over 170 million addresses at least six days a week, so they think they can do a good job.

They will start accepting bids from other companies soon and plan to award contracts later in 2026.

This could help lower delivery costs for these companies.
