DHL eCommerce signed a new exclusive multi-year contract with the U.S. Postal Service for last-mile parcel delivery in the U.S., with an expected value of more than $10B. The agreement extends a 25-year relationship between the two organizations. DHL eCommerce handles nationwide pickup, sortation across its 19 fully automated hubs, and linehaul on its air and ground network, then hands packages to USPS for final-mile delivery to more than 41,550 ZIP Codes and 170 million delivery points six days a week. Scott Ashbaugh, CEO of DHL eCommerce Americas, said the deal creates a dependable long-term platform for customers and supports emissions reduction goals by minimizing additional vehicles on the road. Postmaster General David Steiner said the extended agreement aligns DHL eCommerce more closely with USPS's transformed network. DHL eCommerce is part of DHL Group, which generated approximately 82.9 billion euros in 2025 revenue.
