About USPS
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is the postal service provider in the USA and provides tracked courier and mail services throughout the US and internationally.
A trusted and familiar household name to US residents, USPS is a popular choice for shipping in the US and internationally, offering reliable and affordable delivery services both for individuals and businesses.
USPS delivery services
If you need to send a package in the US or from the US to an international destination, USPS is an excellent choice. It offers extensive coverage across all US states and a range of mail and package delivery services for items large and small. USPS Priority Mail is one of the most popular USPS services for sending parcels domestically with a delivery time of 2-3 business days for packages up to 70lbs.
For shipping out of the US to international destinations, USPS also offers a good range of worldwide shipping services, with a choice of express and economy delivery times. If you're looking for a speedy delivery, Priority Mail Express International is a good choice, however, if you're shipping on a budget the standard Priority Mail International service offers reasonable delivery times and will be much cheaper. First-Class Package International is a cost-effective service for small packages weighing 1-4lbs.
