USPS Supplier W. W. Grainger Finds Success With Parcel Select Service

One of America’s largest suppliers of facilities mainte­nance products is finding USPS® Parcel Select® service the right tool to meet its shipping needs. Parcel Select ser­vice offers customers competitive pricing and service.

W.W. Grainger, Inc., began using Parcel Select service about a year ago, and now is shipping more than 30,000 packages each month. Grainger is the only eBuy2 On-Catalog supplier for maintenance, repair and operation (MRO), and custodial supplies that is shipping through Parcel Select service, bringing in new Postal Service™ revenue.

Parcel Select service offers customers competitive pric­ing and service. It’s often used by other private parcel com­panies, such as FedEx or UPS, to complete delivery of the “last mile” for their shipments — particularly for deliveries in non-metropolitan areas.
