Understanding Postal: USPS Faces Unprecedented Economic Stress

Catalogers with other ideas to help the USPS grow or retain their catalog volumes should contact the Postal Service’s new marketing group directly, or work through their service providers and/or trade associations.

Also on the positive side, the USPS is redesigning its Bulk Mail Center (BMC) facility and transportation network, a move that had been considered for the past few years. While the USPS has decided it can’t outsource the operations, largely because of volume losses, it plans to quickly move forward with consolidating and streamlining these facilities.
