USPS, UPS SurePost Contract Ends
USPS is increasing rates in parcel delivery services, effective this week. Here's what to know about the cost to ship your packages.
Under the change, UPS Sure Post packages are now only being delivered by UPS drivers, a spokesperson for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters spokesperson told Supply Chain Dive. In the past, the final leg of these deliveries was made by the U.S. Postal Service; now, they will be handled by UPS after the Jan. 1 contract expiration.
The change returns millions of packages to UPS package cars for final-mile delivery. "Millions of packages moved away from SurePost and the United States Postal Service and returned to UPS package cars this month, now being sorted and delivered by hardworking UPS Teamsters," the union said in a Facebook post.
