United States Postal ServiceQuarterly Performance for Package Services |
Quarter IV FY2009 |
Overview
Package Services includes single-piece Parcel Post©; Bound Printed Matter; Media Mail©; and Library Mail. Package Services includes both retail and Presort volumes, with approximately 85 percent of the total represented by bulk Presort.
Retail Package Services service performance is measured using an internal USPS system that measures transit time from the time of mailing at a post office until the time of delivery to the intended recipient, on parcels for which a customer requested Delivery Confirmation™ service. The system measures service to and from virtually all 3-Digit ZIP Code areas for which Package Services volume originates or destinates. Transit time is compared against USPS modern service standards to develop the measure of on-time service performance.
Limitations
In Quarter 4, systems were not fully in place to measure the service performance for Presort Package Services, and the available data represents too little of the overall population to be a reliable overall performance measure. The following service performance results are based only on the data available for Retail Package Services and may not represent the service performance for the entire set of Package Services products.
