During the reporting period, the average time to deliver a mailpiece or package across the postal network was 2.5 days for the fourth consecutive week.

FY2023 first quarter service performance scores covering Oct. 1 through Nov. 18 included:
*First-Class Mail: 92.2 percent of First-Class Mail delivered on time against the USPS service standard, a slight decrease of 0.9 percentage points from the fiscal fourth quarter.

The Postal Service is in a strong position heading into the holiday mailing and shipping rush. The organization recently completed the installation of 137 new package sorting machines across its network which will expand daily package processing capacity to 60 million. This brings the organization’s total to 249 new processing machines since the launch of the Delivering for America plan in March 2021 and are part of a $40 billion investment in the postal network.
