Same PulcranoCOMMITTED TO A GREENER FUTURE

The Postal Service has announced creation of a new position — corporate vice president of sustainability. Sam Pulcrano, a 33-year Postal Service veteran, was named to the position.

One of Pulcrano’s first goals will be to complete an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions and create an action plan to reduce emissions.

“We continuously strive for sustainability, discovering better ways to deliver long-term value to our customers, employees and to the communities we serve,” Postmaster General John Potter said. “This new position simply puts a more formal structure in place at an organization that has been environmentally smart and friendly for more than 200 years.”


EBAY SHIPPERS FIND A BETTER DEAL WITH USPS

What are you paying for shipping? The Postal Service has the answer for 10,000 people expected to attend “eBay Live! 2008,” the annual conference that shows consumers and business owners from around the world how to sell and buy successfully through the online marketplace.

The Postal Service is the title sponsor for the event, June 19-21 in Chicago. Through a series of workshops, labs and presentations, attendees discover new strategies, share business solutions and network with other online sellers. Same Pulcrano

And this year, they’ll also learn about competitive prices, online savings and volume discounts now available by shipping with the Postal Service. eBay shippers can save as much as 11 percent by using Priority Mail and conducting their shipping business online. Users of Click-N-Ship and PC Postage and customers using permit imprint with electronic confirmation services will save an average 3.5 percent.

Postal Service employees will be on hand to explain new pricing opportunities in domestic, international and online services, working with the theme, “What are you paying for shipping?”

“We have a tremendous relationship with the eBay community and we continually look for ways to remain their shipper of choice,” said USPS Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Anita Bizzotto. “We’ve always had great products and service. Now, with competitive pricing, we can bring additional value to shipping.” For more information, log on to ebay.com.
