The U.S. Postal Service processed more than 11.7 million packages and pieces of mail during the holiday season last year.
The December holidays are on the horizon, and the Postal Service is ready to meet the demand. USPS announced on Tuesday that it’s hiring 10,000 seasonal workers and using 395 new package-sorting machines to help transport packages, greeting cards and other pieces of mail across the country during the 2023 holiday rush.
“Our 2022 peak season was a tremendous success. We are ready to deliver for the holidays in a superior and routine manner,” Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said in a statement. “We have been planning early and leveraging investments in our people, infrastructure, transportation and technology made possible by the Delivering for America plan. And with no holiday surcharges, we are strongly positioned to be America’s most affordable delivery provider this holiday season.
USPS said that it processed more than 11.7 billion packages and pieces of mail during the 2022 holiday season, claiming that it took just 2.5 days on average to deliver a piece of mail or a package to its intended destination.
