Supply Chain 247 says U.S. Postal Service is straining to keep up with the volume of packages being delivered on Sundays. According to a recent article, “the flood of packages can be traced back to
Amazon, which kicked off a partnership with the USPS more than a year ago to deliver parcels seven days a week.”
Apparently, many USPS workers have been asked to work extended workdays, and in some cases, “for up to 21 days straight.”
“Sue Brennan, a senior public relations representative from the U.S. Postal Service, said increases are happening nationwide.”
Will the strain on the postal system inevitably impact customers? Has it already?
