USPS to offer new connectivity service for online marketplace

According to foreign media reports, the United States Postal Service announced today that as part of the marketing plan, they now provide new USPS Connect Local services in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware . In addition , USPS will expand Connect Local and Regional to the online market.

It is understood that there are four types of USPS Connect : local, regional, national and return .

Since USPS Connect is advertised as providing large business rates for small businesses, foreign media have asked it whether it will integrate with online marketplaces and whether USPS Connect rates are lower than the prices offered by USPS through websites such as eBay and Etsy.

Responding to this, officials from the relevant departments stated that USPS Connect Local and Regional are not currently available in the market, however, they are working to expand access .

In addition, he said, Connect Local uses the Parcel Select product, which is priced lower than Priority Mail and First Class Package Service . Qualified shippers either take the package to the collection dock of the post office that provides the destination zip code, or hand the package over to their carrier (if the zip code is the same) , with no minimum packaging requirements.

Connect Regional can deliver to 164 locations in the U.S. using Parcel Select or Parcel Select Lightweight to provide next-day delivery in most areas . However, it should be noted that shippers must meet certain entry requirements, including 200 pieces of Parcel Select or Parcel Select Lightweight, or at least 50 pieces per mailing for 50 pounds of freight .

USPS Connect Local has no minimum requirements , which provides convenience for users. In February of this year , USPS stated that the USPS Connect program provides a variety of options to help businesses of all sizes meet consumers' growing demand for low prices, fast delivery, and convenient returns.

Data shows that the United States Postal Service is the only delivery service that can reach every address in the country . Its Postal Service has more than 34,000 retail outlets , annual operating revenue of more than US$71 billion, and delivers 48% of the world's mail. The USPS 's continuously strengthened business and services are expanding its own market share.
