USPS FAQ
For light packages traveling shorter distances without a tight deadline, yes — USPS is usually the most affordable option. For heavier packages, time-sensitive deliveries, or shipments where reliability matters, UPS or FedEx will often serve you better.
Yes — and only USPS can. UPS, FedEx, and DHL cannot deliver to PO box addresses. If your recipient has a PO box, USPS is your only option.
Yes. USPS is the only carrier that delivers to APO and FPO addresses — military installations and overseas bases. If you’re shipping to someone serving in the military, USPS is the way to go.
For domestic shipments, USPS works well for non-urgent, lower-value items. However, USPS express services are not guaranteed the same way UPS and FedEx express services are. For high-value or time-sensitive shipments, we typically recommend UPS or FedEx for stronger reliability and easier insurance claims.
Yes. Bring it in and we’ll accept it. No receipt needed unless you want one.
