LEETSDALE, Pa.—Some recipients waited on the U.S. Postal Service to deliver holiday gifts until well after decorations were taken down last year. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s answer to prevent a repeat this year is space—and lots of it.
The Postal Service is adding 45 new facilities for the coming peak shipping season to handle spillover packages and extra shipping volume expected ahead of the holidays. That is in addition to adding 112 new machines to sort packages and hiring 40,000 seasonal workers, efforts Mr. DeJoy recently said were on track despite supply-chain challenges and labor shortages hitting the economy.
