The U.S. Postal Service’s strategic restructuring plan proposed by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy would bring some unwelcomed changes to the speed of mail delivery throughout the country. Jacob Bogage and Kevin Schaul reported the impact, including for parts of Chester County, for The Washington Post.

The new delivery regiment that the agency is currently seeking regulatory approval for represents the biggest mail services slowdown in over a generation, according to experts.

Last week, attorneys general from 21 states, led by Pennsylvania and New York, sent a communiqué to the Postal Regulatory Commission to oppose these changes. They argued that the proposed changes discriminate against mail consumers based on geography.

Based on current standards, 50 percent of mail in Chester County’s ZIP Codes starting in 193 arrives in two days and the remaining half arrives within three days. According to the new plan, 46 percent of mail would arrive in two days, and 31 percent of mail would arrive in three days.

Meanwhile, 16 percent of mail would be delayed by at least one day and would arrive in four days, while seven percent would take as long as five days to arrive at its destination.
