Mail Delivery Time Through February Averages 2.7 Days

For the week of Feb. 26 – March 4, USPS reported the best last mile delivery performance for First-Class Mail and USPS Marketing Mail since inception of the internal Service Performance Measurement system. Last mile delivery accounts for a mailpiece or package that travels from a local processing facility or delivery unit to a customer’s mailbox.

Consistent with the rest of the shipping industry, USPS experienced delays in both ground and air transportation during the month of February due to inclement weather events including winter storms in the Midwest, South and Northeast regions. The Postal Service continues to implement mitigation plans to move mail and packages effectively across the nation.

Additional second quarter service performance scores covering Jan.1 through March 4 included:
*First-Class Mail: 86.9 percent of First-Class Mail delivered on time against the USPS service standard, a decrease of 2.3 percentage points from the fiscal first quarter.
*Marketing Mail: 91.7 percent of Marketing Mail delivered on time against the USPS service standard, a decrease of .5 percentage point from the fiscal first quarter.
*Periodicals: 80.5 percent of Periodicals delivered on time against the USPS service standard, a decrease of .4 percentage point from the fiscal first quarter.
