Express Mail Delivery Simplified

Fort Myers, Cape Coral Fl —If you weren’t home when we stopped by to deliver your Express Mail, you can collect it at your local Post Office upon your carrier’s return to the office or arrange redelivery for the following day at www.usps.com/redeliver or 1-800-275-8777. In an effort to make Express Mail articles available to customers as early as possible following a delivery attempt, a second delivery attempt will only be made at the customer’s request. A new Express Mail “hold for pickup” service places a call to the addressee upon arrival of the Express Mail item at the delivery Post Office. The addressee can collect the item at the Post Office at a time that is convenient to them.

An independent federal agency, the U.S. Postal Service is the only delivery service that visits every address in the nation — 146 million homes and businesses. It has 37,000 retail locations and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to pay for operating expenses, not tax dollars. The Postal Service has annual revenues of $75 billion and delivers nearly half the world’s mail.
