The Brief

    • USPS says it has invested nearly $20 billion in its facilities and processing capabilities.
    • For the holiday shipping season, USPS is hiring 14,000 temporary employees.

If you're planning to ship packages this holiday season, the United States Postal Service (USPS) says it’s ready to deliver. 

Timeline:

USPS says its modernization investments have it more than ready for the 2025 holiday delivery season.

Over the last four years, USPS says it has invested nearly $20 billion in its facilities and processing capabilities as it continues to realign its network to meet the mailing and shipping needs of its customers.

In a media release, USPS says it has built capacity in processing, logistics and delivery infrastructure to meet evolving mail and package needs, and is ready to handle the expected increase in mail and package volume during the holidays. 
 

What they're saying:

"The Postal Service plans throughout the year to deliver the nation’s mail and packages during the high-volume holiday season and we are well prepared and ready to deliver for the American public," said Postmaster General and CEO David Steiner. "For the past several years, the Postal Service has been gaining market share in our package business, which reflects the strong value and excellent portfolio of the shipping options we provide. We expect to see a continuation of this trend in the coming holiday period and to continue winning a larger share of the nation’s shipping business."

By the numbers:

This year, it plans to hire 14,000 temporary employees — down from 40,000 just a few years ago. The seasonal workforce will complement the full-time employee base and better position the Postal Service to handle the extra holiday volume in key locations throughout the nation.

New USPS facilities and vehicles

What's next:

In 2025, USPS opened new facilities in Dallas; Phoenix; Johnson City, TN; and other locations, and will soon open buildings in Memphis, TN; Birmingham, AL; Tampa, FL; and San Antonio, TX, and has taken delivery of 29,000 new vehicles this year, deploying more than 24,000 of them on postal delivery routes. 

USPS says it expects to acquire a total of 106,480 new vehicles, including 66,000 zero-emission electric vehicles, ensuring reliable service and maintaining its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
