Rivals UPS, USPS Partner for Delivery

An agreement between the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) and the United Parcel Service (UPS) has expanded the relationship between the two, increasing the number of cities to which UPS delivers First Class and Priority mail on behalf of the USPS. Previously, UPS delivered First Class and Priority mail to 16 cities, but the new contract, which begins July 1 and lasts three years, with a possible two-year extension, calls for delivery to 98 cities, writes Multichannel Merchant.
