Amazon USPS delivery deal
Definition
A longstanding commercial partnership between Amazon, the e-commerce giant, and the United States Postal Service (USPS), primarily for last-mile package delivery services spanning over 30 years.
Refers specifically to the 2026 contract negotiations between Amazon and USPS that collapsed at the 'eleventh hour,' prompting Amazon to slash its USPS package volume by at least two-thirds upon contract expiration in fall 2026.
