USPS is now delivering just 83% of First-Class mail on time during the current fiscal quarter, its worst rate in three years. That is down from 86% in the first quarter and 91% in both the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and the same period last year." - Comments

The accelerated losses during the holiday season continue a longstanding trend of poor financial performance for the mailing agency, but mark a troubling sign as its leadership team undertakes significant operational transformations with a promise to right the ship." - USPS: Our modernization strategies are putting the Postal Service on an upward trajectory - Loss more than double from same period last year - Comments
