The U.S. Postal Service says it intends to open its “last-mile” delivery network to large and small shippers, expanding beyond current arrangements with giants such as Amazon and UPS.

Because the U.S. Postal Service delivers to all U.S. addresses, many private companies rely on the agency to ship to harder-to-reach places. Postmaster General David Steiner wants to enable more businesses to utilize this service.

The U.S. Postal Service said on Wednesday it is seeking to boost revenue from its "last-mile" delivery network to major retailers and shippers as it warned of a looming financial crunch and said it could run out of cash as soon as early 2027.

With less than two weeks until Christmas, if you're sending gifts to people far from home, the deadlines to get them there on time are fast approaching.

Bozeman businesses report years of USPS delivery problems, with one company forced to reissue $500,000 in checks due to mail failures.
