Background:

USPS Connect is the Postal Service’s new approach to meet shippers’ evolving package delivery needs. Taking care of those businesses ultimately benefits all our customers.

It includes a set of four affordable delivery solutions that help businesses of all sizes meet growing consumer demand for fast delivery and convenient returns, including same-day delivery for USPS Connect packages that are dropped off at the back docks of designated Connect offices between 5 and 7 a.m., and next-day delivery for USPS Connect packages that are dropped off after 7 a.m. at those offices and no later than 30 minutes before their back docks close for the day.

Businesses should go to USPSconnect.com to register and find out more.

USPS Connect provides same-day or next-day delivery service to businesses that drop off their packages at specially designated post offices, including 86 offices in the greater San Diego area. Businesses will be able to save money and short-cut the shipping process by dropping off their USPS Connect packages directly to designated delivery offices.

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