USPS Confirms Mailing Service Changes Begin April 1st In Michigan

USPS has been working on changes in Michigan and the U.S. as a part of its 10-year Delivering for America plan. The plan looks to modernize the postal network, improve service, and ensure long-term financial stability. Part of that plan has already been initiated through price increases for stamps and other mailing services. But another change will be in effect soon and will change the way mail is delivered.

According to Newsweek, First-Class Mail deliveries will be expedited, while others could see delays. Michigan residents will see the following changes in services:

• 75 percent of First-Class Mail will retain its current service standards.
• 14 percent of First-Class Mail will see an improvement in delivery times.
• 11 percent of First-Class Mail will experience slightly longer delivery times.

The changes to First-Class Mail services will be rolled out gradually throughout 2025, with the first phase starting on April 1 and the second on July 1st. USPS says the shift would delay some deliveries by as much as a day but still achieve the goal of delivering everything in five days or fewer and could speed up delivery for customers in certain areas. Customers can expect notifications from USPS regarding any significant changes to their mail delivery.
