Received this from the Business Agent today.
Good afternoon,
Please find the attached USPS Correspondence 5236, dated June 12, 2025, regarding notification that on June 21, 2025, the Postal Service will implement a change in the Delivery Operations Information System (DOIS) to use a weight of two pounds when defining parcels in accordance with the M-41.
USPS states that since the launch of Ground Advantage (GA) last year, items have not been properly identified in DOIS as either a parcel or in the category of small parcels and rolls (SPRS). The M-41 Handbook, City Delivery Carriers Duties and Responsibilities, defines a parcel as a first or fourth-class package over two pounds in weight and/or larger than a shoe box.
Currently DOIS is using a weight of one pound to define a parcel.
