The Post Office will have demonstrations and information on the more than three dozen products and services available on USPS.com. Customers will learn the quick, easy, and convenient way to do business with the Postal Service online.

“Almost anything you can do at a Post Office you can do online at USPS.com,” said Postmaster LeGretta Ross-Rawlins. “You can find Post Office locations and hours, manage mail delivery while traveling, create printing labels and request a free package pickup.”

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.

The convenience of the Internet is one reason the Postal Service is encouraging customers to "skip the trip" to the Post Office.
