WASHINGTON, DC — The United States Postal Service today announced that it is launching USPS Connect™ eCommerce.

“USPS Connect™ eCommerce makes it easier for online marketplaces and shipping platforms to work directly with the Postal Service and offer their customers access to discounted rates,” said Jacqueline Krage Strako, Chief Customer and Business Solutions Officer for the United States Postal Service.
