Bad Effects Forecast For Parcel Rate Hike
Washington AP The Postal Service faces a potential loss from a nearly $1 billion automation push as a 35 percent parcel rate hike depresses volume below break-even. The 21 facilities opened in 1976 sought 300 million yearly parcels, but Rate Commission projections show volumes likely to fall under that threshold for the first time. Private rivals like United Parcel Service have eroded the system’s former dominance as annual parcel volume has declined from over a billion to under 400 million since inception.
