COMMITTED 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.
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.”
