π Why This Matters: For the supply chain folks, this recall means more work! Those cases need to be pulled, shipped back, and dealt with. It's a logistical headache that messes with schedules, transportation, and inventory management.

USPS Plans to End Dual Shipping Labels by 2025
Starting January 1, 2025, USPS is planning to stop accepting dual shipping labels that list both USPS and private carriers (like UPS or DHL). If your shipments use these labels, they might get returned to the sender! This change is likely part of USPSβs effort to streamline its network and gain more direct customers through services like USPS Ground Advantage.
π Why This Matters: This move could seriously impact last-mile delivery strategies. Many companies rely on USPS to handle final-mile deliveries, and this shift could force them to rethink their processes, adding complexity and potentially higher costs.
π₯ Hot Take: USPS cutting dual labels is like making everyone choose sidesβbrace yourself for last-mile delivery shakeups and some serious logistics headaches!
