If you've been frustrated with the post office this year, you probably won't be thrilled to hear this. Their service is going to get even slower.
Starting Friday, Oct. 1, the U.S. Postal Service will implement new standards for First Class Mail. The current benchmark is one to three days but the Postal Service says this will now be one to five days.
Officials say this will mostly impact mail traveling long distances. USPS said 61% of mail will not be affected by the changes.
So what does that mean? Single-piece mail, like letters or bills that are traveling within the same region, will still arrive within two days. The Postal Service estimates that if someone mails something less than 900 miles away, it will get there in three days.
