STORY LINES:
Business: The Postal Service has a dedicated portal on its website for small business owners - USPS.com/smallbiz. The site offers pricing comparisons for shipping options, supplies, desktop postage, and easy instructions to create postcards and letters to better reach and identify customers.
Consumers: Almost anything you can do at a Post Office you can do online at USPS.com: Find Post Office locations and hours, manage mail delivery while traveling, create printing labels and request a free package pickup.
The convenience of the Internet is one reason the U.S. Postal Service is encouraging customers to "skip the trip" to the Post Office – after participating in a demonstration of online products and services at local Post Offices across the country this week.
Two of the most popular services at USPS.com are Click-N-Ship and free package pickup. Click-N-Ship brings the Post Office to a desktop at home or office for no additional fee. With Carrier Pickup, customers can take advantage of the personal convenience and service of having packages picked up at their home, saving a trip to the Post Office.
An independent federal agency, the U.S. Postal Service is the only delivery service that visits 146 million homes and businesses, six days a week. It has 37,000 retail locations and relies on the sale of postage, products, and services to cover its operating expenses. The Postal Service has annual revenues of $73 billion and delivers nearly half the world’s mail.
