Longer wait for mail would force changes for businesses (Boston)
From companies that mail out 250 million catalogs to small firms that send out
hundreds of wedding invitations, businesses still rely heavily on the US
Postal Service. Last week, the Postal Service announced it will go ahead with
its proposed changes to service, including pushing back First-Class Mail to a
2-3 day delivery for the continental states, seeking to lower operating costs
by $20 billion in 2015. Although there has been a decrease in First-Class Mail
volume and revenue, many businesses use the service consistently. Tasha
Bracken, owner of Simple Details Events, a party planning company based in
West Newton, mailed out 140 invitations last week for a wedding at the end of
January. If she notices that attendees are not receiving their mail and RSVP-
ing as quickly as before, then she will have to send out the invitations two
weeks earlier than usual. “Our job became more difficult, especially for
planning last minute events,” said Bracken. “Weddings and other parties have
to be on our radar much sooner. As a receiver of late mail invitations, you
might think you were on the B-list, and we don’t want anyone thinking that.”
