US Postal Service to slow some mail deliveries in October

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) on Friday finalized a plan to slow down some first-class mail deliveries starting Oct. 1 as part of efforts to cut red ink.
The plan, proposed by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy in March, will revise the existing one-to three-day service standards to one to five days. USPS said that 61% of first-class mail would remain at its current standard.
The federal agency said delivery standards would be slower for about 7% of periodicals.
