LAZY HAZY DAYS OF SUMMER
July begins pretty much as June ended. First-Class letters were on time 87.6% of the time, which is what they have been running lately, which is better than the YTD, and typical for this summer so far. First-Class Flats were even worse than they look, with well over 50% more than five days late. I’ll add the usual proviso that the FC flats sample was small, but they seem to be relentlessly bad.
Marketing Mail held steady at a good point. My favorite Marketing Mail stat, Intra-SCF days was quite low, and low is good on that score. This would tend to indicate that operations are running well within most facilities, which translates to good last-mile performance.
No facilities really stood out with performance issues.
