USPS Offers 75% Discount on Select Retail Products

Pembroke Pines FL—Who doesn’t love a bargain? Starting Saturday, July 11, shoppers will be heading to their local Post Office to enjoy a 75% discount on select retail products, including matted and framed artwork. Discounts on select retail merchandise will be available throughout July so shop now for the holiday season, birthdays, and other special occasions celebrated throughout the year.

While improving the selection of new retail products it sells in Post Office lobbies across the country, the Postal Service is offering existing merchandise at terrific savings. Discounted retail merchandise will vary from Post Office to Post Office. Merchandise available at the bargain price are discontinued items that will be removed from sale at all Post Offices on August 1.

While at the Post Office, customers can — without charge — pick up the Postal Service's Priority Mail Flat-Rate boxes to ship and share their bargain items with family and friends. These newfound treasures can be mailed in the Priority Mail Flat-Rate boxes for a set rate — regardless of weight or destination. If it fits, it ships! (Note: Mail weighing more than 13 ounces and bearing only stamps as postage must be presented at a Post Office instead of being mailed in a collection box or picked up from your mailbox. Customers can use a number of quick, easy, convenient ways to print postage — including an Automated Postal Center, Click-N-Ship, PC Postage or a postage meter.)

Later this fall, customers will find enhanced product displays and a different mix of merchandise to better fit their needs. The categories of merchandise include:

Mailing and shipping supplies, such as ReadyPost boxes, mailers, tape and bubble wrap.
Mail-related merchandise, such as scales and stamp dispensers.
U.S. Postal Service-branded and promotional merchandise, such as passport holders.
Philatelic products, including stamp yearbooks, stamped postal cards and stationery.
