Postal Service Begins FY23 Third Quarter with Improved Performance

The United States Postal Service reported new delivery performance metrics for the first week of the third quarter for fiscal year 2023 showing improved delivery performance across all mail categories. The average time for the Postal Service to deliver a mailpiece or package across the nation improved to 2.4 days.

FY23 third quarter service performance scores covering April 1 through April 7, included:
*First-Class Mail: 92.1% of First-Class Mail delivered on time against the USPS service standard, an increase of 1.2 percentage points from the fiscal second quarter.
*Marketing Mail: 96.1% of Marketing Mail delivered on time against the USPS service standard, an increase of 1.5 percentage points from the fiscal second quarter.
*Periodicals: 88.3% of Periodicals delivered on time against the USPS service standard, an increase of 1.8 percentage points from the fiscal second quarter.

The Postal Service continues to make service delivery improvements. Currently, 97% of the nation’s population receives their mail in less than three days. This percentage recently improved, and USPS is working hard to correct service-related issues in the other limited areas.

Patterson easily topped the print sales accrued by Dr. Seuss, whose books have sold 83 million copies since 2004. Patterson’s top-selling print book as measured by BookScan is Honeymoon, which edged out 3rd Degree for the #1 spot. Like many of his bestsellers, those two are parts of series, and books in the Women’s Murder Club and Alex Cross series have fared particularly well. His top 10 bestselling titles sold just about 12 million copies, meaning that the rest of Patterson’s oeuvre racked up sales of 88 million copies in total.
