en.Wedoany.com Reported - The United States Postal Service (USPS) has reached a $10 billion partnership with DHL eCommerce, a subsidiary of DHL, under which USPS will provide "last-mile" parcel delivery services for DHL eCommerce.

"Last-mile" delivery refers to the segment where parcels are transported from a local distribution center to the customer's doorstep, and it is the most labor-intensive part of the delivery process. Last December, USPS announced plans to open its last-mile network to shippers of all sizes, aiming to expand existing partnerships with Amazon and United Parcel Service (UPS).

Postmaster General David Steiner stated during a conference call with reporters that USPS delivers to 170 million addresses six days a week. "We are naturally the best last-mile service provider. For us, this is about meeting customers where they are." Steiner is focused on broadening the revenue base of the 250-year-old postal service. In March, he told the Associated Press that the agency could run out of cash within a year unless Congress lifts a decades-old borrowing cap.

Both USPS and DHL described the agreement as a multi-year commitment but did not provide further details. Scott Ashbaugh, CEO of DHL eCommerce Americas, noted that the agreement will support DHL eCommerce's expansion in the United States. "Partnering with USPS allows us to serve communities nationwide efficiently, minimize additional vehicles on the road, and support our commitment to reducing emissions," he said.
