Description

The United States Postal Service, facing a cash crunch and nine billion dollars in losses, plans to open bids from other shippers for access to its last-mile delivery network. This move could bring in new revenue but threatens to push away its biggest customer, Amazon. With package volumes surging but letter mail plummeting, the postal service might need six to ten billion dollars a year in government funding to keep delivering nationwide affordably. Amazon is weighing its options, hinting at potential scaling back if uncertainty grows, which could hurt the postal service badly.
