The U.S. Postal Service will announce plans to add a day to its standards for First Class mail delivery, and to reduce Post Office hours, as it seeks to deal with declining mail volume, financial deficits and slow delivery, a person briefed on the agency’s plan said.
The service plans a formal announcement Tuesday of a 10-year plan devised under Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. The person who described the plan did so on condition of anonymity because it hasn’t been made public.
