New USPS First Class Package Service Delivery Times Effective 10/1/21
September 28th, 2021As you may have read in the news, the USPS is making changes to First-Class Mail that will lengthen the delivery time for many letters and packages. This includes First-Class Package Service (FCPS), which is a service that we offer for lightweight orders under 1 lb.
Prior to the change, the standard for delivery time was 2-3 days. The new standard now ranges from 2 days to 5 days depending upon location. For example, packages originating from our warehouse in New York will now take 5 days to reach California.
Please note that these changes do not apply to Priority Mail. For most of the country, Priority will still reach you in 2 days. The map on our Shipping page has more details.
The Washington Post created an interactive map to show the effects of this change. Here’s what it looks like for us:
We’ll be updating our estimated delivery dates accordingly on our checkout page. Please remember that these are just estimates. The USPS in particular has suffered from delays since the start of the pandemic.
