Fourth-quarter service performance for July 1 through July 23 included:
*First-Class Mail: Delivered 89.3 percent of First-Class Mail on time against the USPS service standard, an improvement of nearly 2 percentage points from the third quarter.
*Marketing Mail: Delivered 92.4 percent of Marketing Mail on time against the USPS service standard, an improvement of 1.4 percentage points from the third quarter.

“We are working tirelessly across our network and with our industry partners to improve service performance for all mail and packages. The numbers are trending in the right direction – particularly for First-Class and Marketing Mail – but there is much more work to be done,” said Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. “We are steadfast in our commitment and focused on delivering the reliable and consistent service our industry customers and the American public expect and deserve.”
