It has been a year filled with all manner of challenges, twists and turns for the mailing industry and the United States Postal Service. Not only a global pandemic, but, natural disasters, unemployment in the double digits, a new Postmaster General and a presidential election year. The perfect storm?Â
The mailing industry has been hit especially hard in 2020. COVID-19 has brought with it reduced mail volume, delivery performance (USPS and other carrier performance) has been affected negatively, remote working employees has challenged many employers to pivot their service delivery models to support clients and manage their businesses.

The supply chains supporting our industry, the customers and clients generating the marketing mail volumes have also been impacted, and the ripple effects have been, in some circumstances, catastrophic.Â
