The USPS, UPS SurePost Delivery Contract Is Over

U.S. Postal Service (USPS) workers will no longer deliver UPS SurePost packages after the government agency’s contract with the parcel service expired this year.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, a union representing UPS delivery drivers, confirmed the negotiated service agreement’s expiration in a Facebook post last week.

“Millions of packages moved away from SurePost and the United States Postal Service and returned to UPS package cars this month, now being sorted and delivered by hardworking UPS Teamsters.” the social media post reads.

In a statement to USA TODAY, UPS spokesperson Jim Mayer said, “SurePost is a dependable economy service for less urgent packages offered by UPS to business shippers… UPS now handles SurePost packages door-to-door entirely within our own network, with the reliability we’re known for.”

USA TODAY contacted USPS and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters on Thursday but has not received a response.

Here is what to know about the contract ending and what it means for UPS drivers and future SurePost deliveries.
