Amazon to slash USPS shipments as USPS overhauls last-mile bids
TL;DR Summary
Amazon plans to cut USPS shipments by at least two-thirds later this year after USPS ended negotiations in favor of a new bidding process; Amazon last year accounted for about 15% of USPS parcel deliveries, and bidding results are due in mid-2026 with contracts likely finalized by Q3. Amazon says it submitted a February 2026 bid but has not received a response, and it remains ready to continue the partnership despite the uncertainty.
