PRC approves extension for USPS grocery delivery tests

The United States Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) has agreed to another one-year extension for the United States Postal Services’ (USPS) market test for grocery deliveries. In a statement regarding the extension published on Wednesday (28 September), PRC noted: ” The Commission initially authorized the Customized Delivery market test to begin in the San Francisco metropolitan area on November 1, 2014.

“During FY 2015 and FY 2016, the Postal Service expanded the market test into other geographic areas:  Los Angeles, CA; San Diego, CA; New York City, NY; Sacramento, CA; Stamford, CT; and Las Vegas, NV.

“It also changed the market test by adding a new feature for carriers to pick up empty bags from customers and return them to Destination Delivery Units.”

The permission for the grocery delivery test was due to expire on 31 October, but has now been extended for another 12 months. USPS also plans to expand the test into other areas during the extension.
