The U.S. Postal Service has a new 10-year plan to revamp its business after a long-term decline in mail volumes.
At the core of the Ground Advantage plan is the offering of discounted prices that are cheaper than UPS and FedEx.
USPS will deliver packages up to 70 pounds across the country without fees for residential delivery or fuel surcharges.
Package-delivery volumes have declined in recent months, leading to UPS and FedEx cutting costs by reducing jobs and trimming hours for package handlers.
