USPS Delivery Changes

November 30, 2021

The United States Postal Service recently changed their delivery service standards for First-Class Mail and Periodicals. Transit times have changed from all addresses having 1-3 delivery days, to being based on distance between origin and destination with a maximum of 5 delivery days. If the destination is more than 930 miles from our home office in Oregon, transit times may be up to 5 delivery days.

Learn more about this change by reviewing the USPS Fact Sheet.
