Officials to Demonstrate USPS.COM - “Post Office at Your Fingertips”

Jersey City NJ — From 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., postal online experts will be in the lobby of the Jersey City Park Post Office at 69 Montgomery Street on Tuesday, March 18 to show consumers how to save some gas, time, and money by using the Postal Service’s USPS.COM web site. With over one million customer visits per day and three dozen services available on the web site, USPS.COM has been described as the “Post Office at Your Fingertips.”

Jersey City Postmaster Jeff Gannon points out that the Postal Service’s website offers nearly three dozen services and products to help small business owners and consumers. From the convenience of a home or office computer, customers can:

Buy stamps
Print mailing labels with or without postage
Request free package pickup
Track packages and confirm deliveries
Send shipments around the world
Design customized postage
Order free, environmentally friendly packaging

“Our customers have discovered that it’s easy to do all their shopping and mailing from the convenience of their computer,” Gannon said. “Almost anything you can do at a Post Office, you can do online at our USPS.COM web site.”
