Mailer Group Says U.S. Postal Service Cost Cutting Isn't Enough

From Flats Sequencing to Network Rationalization, many of the U.S. Postal Service’s recent cost-cutting programs have not been living up to the agency’s projections, a multi-industry mailers group says.

The Postal Service, PostCom wrote, needs to be “more accountable to the industry in reporting how its strategies are reducing costs, how the cost reductions will support a more effective and efficient USPS, and how these reductions will benefit the overall mailing industry.”

“When additional costs are placed on mailers, and the Postal Service does not experience concurrent reductions in its costs, something is amiss.”
