A SOLID IMPROVING TREND
Trends are what it’s all about in service performance, and the Postal Service has a nice one going on. For any given week, it is important to beat the YTD figures, which we expect this time of year, through most of the summer. More importantly, this is just the littlest bit better than last year. Movement in the correct direction is everything. On-time performance has steadily dropped since 2022, even with the standards eased in October 2021. In case you’re wondering, in May of 2022, 94.32% of First-Class letters were delivered on time. 93.46% of First-Class flats were delivered on time. This year? Well, certainly not that good, but hopefully headed in that direction. Let’s hope we’ve hit bottom.
