SEAFOODNEWS.COM [Supermarket News] - October 27, 2014 - Feds OK test of USPS grocery delivery
Federal authorities have given approval for the U.S. Postal Service to commence a two-year test of a customized delivery program for grocery e-tailers.
The USPS began operational tests on such a service earlier this year in partnership with AmazonFresh in San Francisco.
The Postal Regulatory Commission approved a further test allowing for USPS to work with retail partners to deliver bins of groceries to customer homes between 3 and 7 a.m.
The commission said it would cap the revenues the service could reap from the test to $10 million, but said the USPS could ask for an exemption to exceed that amount. In its petition, the USPS said it was likely the test would generate at least that much.
