Delivery Times:  Some USPS customers may find themselves affected by new delivery times in 2025. "Depending on location, time and distance, expected time to deliver will increase for some ZIP code pairs," a press release from USPS in October reads. Exactly how many zip codes could be affected was not provided. ....According to a USPS spokesperson who spoke to CBS MoneyWatch, under the proposed changes, mail would continue to be delivered within the current service standard of two-to-five days.
