USPS 5 Day Delivery Survey
The U.S. Postal Service and the Mailers Technical Advisory Committee (MTAC) are co-sponsoring an industry survey regarding 5-Day Delivery. As a subscriber to our newsletter, we are asking for your participation.
Background information is as follows:
Despite very aggressive cost cutting, the Postal Service is projecting financial losses for this and the next several years. This is due to a significant decline in mail volume and a major requirement to prefund its retiree health benefits. The Postal Service is committed to fulfilling its fundamental role as a deliverer of mail and packages to all Americans. To accomplish this, the Postal Service is developing a plan to transition from six- to five-day delivery on a national basis. This will remove delivery costs and help bring the financial picture into better balance. The alternative would be large price increases.
The Postal Service would like your opinion, as a business customer, about this plan to transition from six- to five-day delivery. Key components of the five-day delivery plan are contained in the survey itself.
The online tool is called SurveyMonkey and should only take about five minutes to complete. Responses will be kept confidential.
One of the questions on the survey is your association affiliation to MTAC. If you do not belong to any of the listed associations please leave blank.
