To stay afloat, the Postal Service is raising Priority Mail prices by 8% starting April 26, 2026, and plans to auction off access to its last-mile delivery routes.
At the same time, Amazon said it would spend more than $4 billion to expand its US rural delivery network by the end of 2026, but it still can't match the Postal Service's massive reach just yet.
Bottom line: this partnership keeps packages moving, and helps both sides tackle their challenges together.
