The U.S. Postal Service today launched an online service performance dashboard, saying the website tool shows the percentage of on-time delivery in each zip code, sorted by specific mail and shipping products such as first class mail, marketing mail, periodicals, and bound printed matter.

Users can enter any zip code location for a USPS district and view mail delivery speeds for any week, month, quarter or year, and compare that to rates for the same period last year and to target goals. This data, updated weekly, is based on scans collected when mail enters the network, during processing, and at the point of delivery. 

Sharing those metrics is consistent with one of the operational reforms included in the Postal Service Reform Act, a 2022 bill that eased some of the financial requirements on the USPS to help it return to more profitable results. In April, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy declared that the effort was beginning to show results, thanks to his “Delivering for America” 10-year overhaul plan.

According to the USPS, the new dashboard reveals the service’s progress toward its goal of achieving financial sustainability and service excellence, including the delivery of at least 95% of all mail and shipping products on time.

Logistics industry growth slowed in December

Logistics industry growth slowed in December due to a seasonal wind-down of inventory and following one of the busiest holiday shopping seasons on record, according to the latest Logistics Managers’ Index (LMI) report, released this week.

The monthly LMI was 57.3 in December, down more than a percentage point from November’s reading of 58.4. Despite the slowdown, economic activity across the industry continued to expand, as an LMI reading above 50 indicates growth and a reading below 50 indicates contraction.

DHL: small businesses wary of uncertain times in 2025

As U.S. small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face an uncertain business landscape in 2025, a substantial majority (67%) expect positive growth in the new year compared to 2024, according to a survey from DHL.

However, the survey also showed that businesses could face a rocky road to reach that goal, as they navigate a complex environment of regulatory/policy shifts and global market volatility. Both those issues were cited as top challenges by 36% of respondents, followed by staffing/talent retention (11%) and digital threats and cyber attacks (2%).

Strike threat lingers at ports as January 15 deadline nears

Retailers and manufacturers across the country are keeping a watchful eye on negotiations starting tomorrow to draft a new contract for dockworkers at East coast and Gulf coast ports, as the clock ticks down to a potential strike beginning at midnight on January 15.

Representatives from the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) last spoke in October, when they agreed to end a three-day strike by striking a tentative deal on a wage hike for workers, and delayed debate over the thornier issue of port operators’ desire to add increased automation to port operations.
