WASHINGTON — The U.S. Postal Service continues its mission to make the holidays easy for customers. In its new TV ad, the Postal Service reminds customers that they can pay for postage, print a shipping label and request a free Package Pickup — all from usps.com.
“Customers have plenty to do this holiday season, but many are still not aware of our free Package Pickup service,” said Nagisa Manabe, chief marketing/sales officer. “Requesting it is easy at usps.com, and if the package is picked up by Dec. 20, it will be delivered in time for the holidays. Customers can even provide us with special instructions on where to find their packages.”
Free Package Pickup is available with expedited services like Priority Mail, Express Mail, Global Express Guaranteed and Merchandise Return services.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses, and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
