Automated Postal Center

Postal Service offers quick, easy, convenient alternative to the retail counter

TERRE HAUTE, IN—Don’t want to stand in line? The Terre Haute Postmaster says the Postal Service offers customers an option for buying stamps or mailing packages at the local Post Office besides standing in line at the retail counter.

The Terre Haute Post Office, located at 150 West Margaret Drive, has the Postal Service's version of an ATM, an Automated Postal Center (APC). It allows customers to mail cards, letters and packages destined for domestic locations and almost every other service offered at the window.

“Automated Postal Centers provide a quick, easy and convenient way for customers to weigh, calculate and apply exact postage,” said Terre Haute Postmaster Mark Jarrett. “Customers can ship Express Mail and Priority Mail items, packages and First-Class letters right at the kiosk.”

They also provide easy access to postal products and services the same way ATMs provide access to banking services. And the APC provides this access twenty four hours a day, seven
days a week! You can mail anytime. You don’t have to worry about getting to the Post Office before the window closes.

“Customers can perform most of the mailing transactions that are available at the retail counter,” said Jarrett. “The kiosks accept debit and credit cards for these transactions and charge no service fee.”

The APC offers quick service around the clock, he added, making it easier than ever for customers to do business with the Postal Service.
