\"USPS<\/a><\/figure>\n\n

The U.S. Postal Service is proposing a delivery time change for Priority Mail Express.<\/p>\n\n

Currently, Priority Mail Express has two guaranteed delivery times within the 1-2 business-day service standards:
– Option #1<\/strong>: 12 Noon or 3 p.m. (depending on originating zip code and delivery address)
– Option #2<\/strong>: 10:30 a.m. (in select locations, for an extra $5 fee)<\/p>\n\n

The USPS is proposing to eliminate the 10:30 am delivery time and will be adjusting the regular Priority Mail Express delivery from 12 noon\/3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on the designated delivery day. <\/p>\n\n

If the Postal Regulatory Commission approves the change, starting Sunday, May 23, 2021<\/strong> all Priority Mail Express packages will be delivered by 6 p.m. regardless of the originating zip code and delivery address. <\/p>\n\n

The shipping price for Priority Mail Express will not change with this delivery time adjustment.<\/p>\n\n
