Most shippers treat USPS as a fallback. Glenn Gooding sees a shift worth watching.
In this episode of Parcel Perspectives, Glenn unpacks why a new tentative agreement between USPS and UPS—one that could restore DDU access—might reshape lightweight residential delivery.
He explains what changed when that access was cut, how gig carriers rushed in, and why Amazon is stepping back from sub-1-lb shipments. With delivery models under pressure, USPS may be regaining relevance in ways that matter to shippers right now.
Listeners will learn:
• Why DDU access changes the last-mile game
• How USPS’s posture impacts gig carriers
• What volatility in light parcels means for strategy
• Where smart brands are building resilience
For brands chasing long-term stability, Glenn offers a grounded take on where parcel strategy might go next.
