The new USPS delivery standards for First Class and Standard Mail that take effect on July 1, 2015 have been published. However, we have continued to experience slow delivery both local and regional, especially with standard mail. We encourage our clients, especially those mailing to promote scheduled events, to drop your mail an extra 7 days earlier to ensure timely delivery of your marketing mail! We will continue to keep you apprised of delivery in the coming months as we prepare for the upcoming back to school and holiday seasons.
Thank you for posting this article as I found it helpful and valuable – is there still slow delivery in Houston for mailing things?
Thank you for posting this article as I found it valuable and helpful – how long does it usually take now to deliver something in the mail for direct mail?
Dear Simone,
Fortunately delivery has improved as of late! You can expect a 3 day delivery for first class and between 5-10 days (mailing in the Houston metro area) for standard mail. Recently I’ve seen standard delivered in as little as 3 or 4 days. Let’s hope that trend continues. If you have additional questions or need more information/assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Joy Z
