USPS Service Performance Holds Steady at 2.5 Days

The United States Postal Service reported new delivery performance metrics for the tenth week of the second quarter for fiscal year 2023 showing consistent or improved delivery performance across all mail categories. The average time for the Postal Service to deliver a mailpiece or package across the nation remained at just 2.5 days.

FY23 second quarter service performance scores covering Jan. 1 through March 10, included:
*First-Class Mail: 91.2% of First-Class Mail delivered on time against the USPS service standard, consistent with performance from the fiscal first quarter.
*Marketing Mail: 94.5% of Marketing Mail delivered on time against the USPS service standard, consistent with performance from the fiscal first quarter.
*Periodicals: 86.8% of Periodicals delivered on time against the USPS service standard, an increase of 2.2 percentage points from the fiscal first quarter.

The Postal Service continues to make service delivery improvements. Currently, 96 percent of the nation’s population receives their mail in less than three days and USPS is working hard to correct service-related issues in the other limited areas.

Bookstore sales fell 16.6% in January compared to the first month of 2020, according to preliminary estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau. Sales in the month were $797 million, down from $956 million in January 2020. The 16.6% drop was only a slight increase over the 15% decline bookstore sales posted in December compared to December 2019, and is another sign that sales declines could be levelling off. February is typically the slowest month for bookstore sales—in 2020, sales in the month were $573 million—and last year's sales began to tank in March as the pandemic set in. Bookstore sales finished 2020 with a 28% decline compared to 2019.
