Mail Delivery Time 2.8 Days on Average Across The Nation In January

The United States Postal Service reported new delivery performance metrics showing the average time to deliver a mailpiece across the postal network was 2.8 days in the first month of the fiscal year second quarter. Throughout January, winter storms across the nation created hazardous road conditions and impacted the air transportation network resulting in delays for middle mile mail and package transit. The Postal Service continues to implement mitigation plans to move mail and packages effectively across the nation.

Additional second quarter service performance scores covering Jan.1 through Feb. 4 included:
*First-Class Mail: 86.1 percent of First-Class Mail delivered on time against the USPS service standard, a decrease of 3 percentage points from the fiscal first quarter.
