  • Postal Innovation Zones: a New Avenue for USPS Reform Abstract in the United States, Letter Pickup, Sorting, and Delivery Is
    Postal Innovation Zones: A New Avenue for USPS Reform Abstract In the United States, letter pickup, sorting, and delivery is almost entirely controlled by the United States Postal Service (USPS). The federal agency’s monopoly status has led to delivery performance issues, fiscal mismanagement, and slow adoption of new postal technologies. I examine these issues by exploring the history of the USPS and its predecessor, including attempts by private actors to compete in the postal sector. I also examine postal liberalization case studies from the United Kingdom and Germany, and conclude that these countries offer significant lessons for the US as members of Congress debate different USPS reform options. I then propose comprehensive postal liberalization, in which the USPS’ monopoly is eliminated and companies are encouraged to compete for letter mail delivery business. Introduction Throughout its history, the United States Postal Service (USPS) and the United States Postal Department (USPD) that preceded it have enjoyed near-exclusive access to the American letter mail delivery market. To mail a letter, individuals and businesses must either go to a Post Office or one of the USPS’ designated suppliers to purchase postage. Even though mailboxes are typically located on private property, and individuals and businesses could choose to purchase a variety of mailbox models with different coloring and lettering, mailboxes are considered federal property and only the USPS is legally authorized to deposit mail there.1 Since the official adoption of national, prepaid postage stamps in the mid-nineteenth century and the first mail delivery via automobile in 1906, the mail delivery process has changed little over time.

  • USPS Address Requirements for Automation Flats
    New Address Requirements for Automation, Presorted, and Carrier Route Flat-Size Mail AGENCY: Postal Service™. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Postal Service adopts new address placement and formatting requirements for Periodicals, Standard Mail®, Bound Printed Matter, Media Mail®, and Library Mail flat-size pieces sent at automation, presorted, or carrier route prices. We also adopt related revisions for automation and presorted First-Class Mail® flats. EFFECTIVE DATE: March 29, 2009 (one year after Federal Register final rule was published). [Note: The Pricing and Classification Service Center will consider submitted exception requests to use up preprinted stock or envelopes. No other exceptions will be granted. Business Mail Acceptance is now finalizing the postage adjustment for non-compliant pieces, but it is likely that all automation and presort discounts will be disallowed, in which case, single piece first class rates, based on weight, will apply.] SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Postal Service is implementing a new technology, the Flats Sequencing System (FSS), to automate delivery sequencing for flat-size mail. Currently, flat-size mail is sorted mechanically only to the 9-digit ZIP Code™ or carrier level, and then manually sorted into delivery order by carriers. FSS can sort flat-size mailpieces into delivery sequence, increasing efficiency by re- ducing carriers’ time sorting mail, and allowing carriers to begin delivering mail earlier in the day. We can significantly increase efficiency and reduce delivery costs for flat-size mail with FSS technology. FSS can sequence flat mail at a rate of approximately 16,500 pieces per hour. Scheduled to operate 17 hours per day, each machine will be capable of sequencing 280,500 mailpieces daily to more than 125,000 delivery addresses.
