United States Postal Service

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is an independent agency of the federal government that provides essential mail and package delivery services across the country. Established in 1775, it operates without taxpayer funding, relying instead on the sale of postage and services. USPS handles millions of letters and parcels daily, connecting people and businesses. It ensures access to mail delivery for all Americans, regardless of their location. The agency faces challenges from digital communication and private companies, but it remains a crucial part of the nation’s infrastructure, facilitating commerce and communication.
