The Postal Service continues to make service delivery improvements. Currently, 98% of the nation’s population receives their mail and packages in less than three days. This percentage recently improved, and USPS is working hard to correct service-related issues in the other limited areas.

In First Week On Sale, ‘Fire and Fury’ Sells Fewer Than 30,000 Copies

Customers that couldn't get a physical copy of Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury were in good company.

The discrepancy between the announced first printing and last week's sales is likely, in part, the result of Holt moving the book's publication date up, from January 9 to January 5. Shipments of the book that were timed to hit stores early this week may have been on the road over the weekend. Click Read More below for additional information.
