USPS Partners with DHL on $10 Billion Last-Mile Delivery Deal
The United States Postal Service has secured a significant $10 billion deal to handle “last-mile” package deliveries for DHL eCommerce, a division of the German logistics company DHL. This agreement represents a strategic expansion for the USPS, which aims to leverage its extensive delivery network to serve a wider range of shippers, including those beyond current partnerships with Amazon and UPS. By utilizing the postal service’s established infrastructure for the crucial, labor-intensive final leg of delivery, DHL eCommerce anticipates enhanced efficiency and a reduced environmental impact. This initiative aligns with the USPS’s broader strategy to diversify revenue streams and strengthen its financial position.
