The U.S. Postal Service is ending discounts that shipping consolidators such as UPS and DHL use to get packages to the nation’s doorsteps, in a move meant to help the Postal Service slow losses but that could see the higher costs passed on to consumers.
An Israeli airstrike hit a U.N. school in Gaza sheltering displaced families and killed at least 14 people, a hospital says.
He insisted the move is aimed at financial sustainability even though it could boost Postal Service market share and make it more costly for consolidators, who could pass on the costs to consumers. It affects shipping consolidators that drop off large numbers of packages at about 10,000 locations across the country. Under the new changes, the number of locations will be cut down to about 500 large hubs that are equipped to handle the volume, he said.
