USPS is making changes in its expedited products to add to their value and make the Postal Service more competitive in the shipping marketplace.
Starting July 28, Express Mail will be renamed Priority Mail Express to make use of the strong Priority Mail brand. All characteristics of the current Express Mail service will remain unchanged.
In addition, Express Mail International will be renamed Priority Mail Express International. The Express Mail Corporate Account will be called USPS Corporate Account.
The Postal Service also is seeking approval from the Postal Regulatory Commission to automatically include insurance — at no additional charge — with most Priority Mail pieces. Customers will receive $50 or $100 of insurance coverage, depending on the postage payment method used.
“We’re taking steps to keep the Postal Service competitive and meet customer needs,” said New Products and Innovation VP Gary Reblin. “We can continue to grow our package business by innovating, offering customers a variety of delivery options and seizing new opportunities for growth, especially from e-commerce.”

Smart people never work for PO??? Jack says. I’m Jack I’m smart
Jack, how smart are you?
this will really help a lot…..lol
idiots, total freaking idiots. so they think they can ‘fool’ some customers into using the expensive express mail by calling it priority mail express? good luck with that. see how many customers you retain. in the end it comes down to good customer service and that is where donahoe and his cronies are the weakest. he takes the customers for granted and treats them like fools. why do you think the postal service has very little of the overnight (express) market? answer, fedex and ups do a better job for the money. this will not change because the postal service stops calling it express and starts calling it priority mail express.
Smart people never work for PO.
The name is change, the lie is same.

The more things change…the more they stay the same. Where’s my early out incentive package??
Sure change the name. I’m sure some executive got a nice bonus to dream this up.How much will it cost to change all the packaging and all the advertising in all the offices? Donahoe and all his henchmen should be removed
