The U.S. Postal Service is planning to launch 11 new sorting and delivery centers in September and October, spread across 10 states.

According to an August 11 release from the USPS, 10 of the new facilities will open on September 6, while the eleventh will open on October 18. Locations will include West Virginia, Minnesota, South Dakota, Missouri, Texas and Maryland among others. The larger goal for the USPS is to target select markets to consolidate delivery units into these larger, centrally-located sorting and delivery centers, as part of its 10-year "Delivering for America" (DFA) initiative that began under former Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. The USPS has yet to release details on whether the opening of the new centers will be accompanied by closures of other smaller facilities.

"The sorting and delivery centers will revitalize our network of nearly 19,000 delivery units — the last stop for mail and packages before they are delivered by our carriers," the USPS said.

In late June, a group of USPS stakeholders urged Congress to pause the DFA program altogether, over complaints that it's slowed down mail service, and led to significant financial losses due to increased operational costs and poor investments. The USPS reported $3.3 billion in net losses in the second quarter of 2025, up from $1.3 billion over that same period in 2024.
