Read our privacy policy The US Postal Service is implementing new services standards which will create slower deliveries from Friday, as part of changes brought in by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. The changes won’t affect about 60 per cent of first-class mail, and deliveries will become less reliant on aeroplanes, USPS spokeswoman Kim Frum told CNN. “These changes would position us to leverage more cost-effective means to transport First-Class packages via ground rather than using costly air transportation, which is also less reliable due to weather, flight traffic, availability constraints, competition for space, and the added hand-offs involved,” said Ms Frum. Deliberate sabotage, draconian service cuts, and craven partisanship will be his ignominious legacy.” Representative Carolyn Maloney, who chairs the committee that oversees USPS, has called the new plan “draconian” and said it “guarantees the death spiral of the United States Postal Service”.
