The Postal Service is officially ending the option for businesses to mail parcels using Priority Mail Express and Priority Mail Open and Distribute services. This change was finalized after a single comment on the proposed rule, which the agency rejected as legally inapplicable.
Why it matters: This is an administrative update to the Domestic Mail Manual that simplifies how certain commercial mailings are processed. It removes a specific pricing and preparation option for parcels while keeping it available for letters and flats. For most individual consumers who do not ship large volumes of goods, this will have no impact.
Who it affects
- Commercial shippers and businesses that currently use Priority Mail Open and Distribute for parcel shipments
This final rule was published by the United States Postal Service in the Federal Register; you should check the original document at 91 FR 36540 for full legal details.
