COVID Impact on Mail Volume report – 8/13/2021

Here is a chart that our VP of Postal Affairs, Angelo Anagnostopoulos, creates on a weekly basis. This chart shows the impact of COVID on USPS Mail Volumes for First-Class Mail, Marketing Mail, and Packages. The black line shows the total mail volume comparison to 2019 (for all three types). The percentage along the left-hand axis shows the percentage to the prior year’s volume with 100% being the same as the prior year.

For the week ending on August 13, 2021, you can see that marketing mail is trending down but still is maintaining a strong return. Packages are holding steady after a sharp drop in April and early May. First-Class continues its decline at its normal pace, for now. We will see what happens after the August 29 Price Change.
