USPS Aligns Priority Mail Express Product with Delivering for America Plan Initiatives

The Postal Service is refining the service standard for domestic retail and commercial Priority Mail Express service to align with operational initiatives that the Postal Service is implementing on a nationwide basis to transform our processing and transportation networks to achieve greater operational precision and efficiency, significantly reduce costs, and enhance service pursuant to the Delivering for America strategic plan (DFA Plan).

Consistent with these efforts and the refinements to service standards for Market Dominant products announced on February 28, 2025, the Postal Service issued a final rule updating its service standards for Priority Mail Express. The final rule states that Priority Mail Express delivery service will have a 1-day, 2-day, or 3-day service standard depending on various factors, including the date on which the item is accepted by the Postal Service and the origin and destination 5-digit ZIP Code. This revision does not affect any other current product features. Priority Mail Express will continue to be a money-back guaranteed product with delivery available 7 days a week in certain areas. 

The final rule will go into effect April 1, 2025, with the first phase of the larger service standard refinement.
