The Postal Service continues to test Sunday package deliveries in select markets, part of the organization\u2019s ongoing effort to grow its shipping business.<\/p>\n

More than 1.5 million Sunday packages have been delivered since the fiscal year began last fall. Deliveries are made from about 1,500 Post Offices, where many letter carriers say customers are surprised to see them on Sundays.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce they look at what\u2019s in my hand and see the vehicle, they\u2019re happy because it\u2019s unexpected. It\u2019s like Christmas Day every Sunday,\u201d said Daniel Nelson, a city carrier assistant in Henderson, NV, where Sunday deliveries began last year.<\/p>\n

The deliveries come from Amazon, which brings packages to local offices and hubs on Sunday mornings, streamlining distribution and transportation.<\/p>\n

The packages are delivered using\u00a0<\/span>dynamic routing<\/em><\/a>, a technique that puts delivery points in the most efficient, logical order.<\/p>\n

In Henderson and Las Vegas, about 8,000 packages are delivered each Sunday, up from 5,000-6,000 pieces one year ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis adds value and convenience for our customers,\u201d said Nevada-Sierra District Delivery and Customer Service Programs Manager Terry Mullins. \u201cThe needs of our customers are changing \u2026 and so should we.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
