To better serve busy customers, the Postal Service pilot-tested MetroPost, a same-day delivery service in San Francisco, CA, during FY2013. The service is being pilot-tested in the New York City area.
With MetroPost, consumers can order products from participating retailers and have them delivered by the Postal Service later that same day. If customers buy merchandise by 2 p.m., we generally deliver it between 4 and 8 p.m.
The participating retailers offer a range of products, including flowers, gift baskets and gourmet treats. The Postal Service will evaluate results of the test to decide whether and how to continue the service.
