Scheduled Service plan aims to boost postal reliability
The Post Office Department unveils Scheduled Service to ensure dependable parcel delivery across the Midwest and beyond. Aimed at reducing delays, the program sets strict mailing deadlines and expands transfer routes, with emphasis on knowing a parcel’s delivery time rather than just its arrival. Local meetings note broader system rollout and associated costs, while a separate County Farm Bureau annual meeting announces an Oct 21 gathering at 8 p.m. in Emmetsburg with a Viet Nam presentation by Mr. and Mrs. Gay Orr.
