The US Postal Service’s change in handling shipping partners has led Amazon to reduce its packages through USPS by two-thirds. This decision came after USPS ended negotiations abruptly for a new bidding process, affecting a reliable revenue source for USPS. Postmaster General David Steiner implemented a new bidding process for last-mile deliveries, causing uncertainty for Amazon’s network planning. Despite submitting a bid using the new system, Amazon has not received a response, creating challenges for their long-term partnership. Steiner is seeking Congress to loosen USPS regulations to address financial concerns.
