ALL SERVICE PROBLEMS AT USPS ARE RESOLVED. GIVE THE MAN HIS BONUS.
One may want to take a grain of salt with today’s results, but they do look exceptional. More than 90% of First-Class letters delivered on time – cutting average delivery time by a full day. Even lowly First-Class flats were on time nearly 80% of the time. It’s a spectacular performance – this is how service performance should always look. It is almost as good as early 2022.
Not to be a Davey downer. There were some irregularities with this week’s data that forced me to put an asterisk on the results. The data load was lower than most weeks which makes me wonder if we’re looking at an objective sample. Service had been on something of a downward trend, and then…this,
We have a bevy of data scientists spelunking down into the data to make sure it’s all valid. (What do you properly call a group of data scientists? It’s a murder of crows, a pod of Orcas…maybe a Chart of data scientists? Get back to me on that.)
So, enjoy the week, asterisk or not. Next week may tell a different story.
