End of UPS SurePost deal with USPS alters delivery strategy

Category: Business

UPS has ended its SurePost agreement with USPS, affecting package delivery methods. Millions of packages are now being sorted and delivered directly by UPS drivers. Customers who previously relied on USPS for final delivery to specific locations must now ship directly to U.S. addresses. UPS introduced SurePost in 2011 as an economical service for residential deliveries, but will now insource this product starting January 1, potentially leading to increased fees for certain deliveries.
