USPS changes have begun: How could your mail be affected

The U.S. Postal Service implemented changes to service standards beginning in April 2024 to improve efficiency.
These changes stem from declining first-class mail volume and financial challenges for the USPS.
The USPS initiative includes adjusting service standards and cutting jobs to reduce labor and transportation expenses.
The USPS stated that these changes will save the organization money, and rural customers receiving mail will benefit; however, Brian Renfroe said, "none of them voted to dismantle the Postal Service."
While some customers may experience slower mail delivery, the USPS projects savings of $36 billion over the next decade.
