USPS (United States Postal Service)
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government responsible for providing postal services in the United States. Established in 1775, it delivers mail and packages across the country, offering services like standard mail, priority shipping, and international deliveries. USPS operates thousands of post offices and employs a significant workforce to ensure mail reaches homes and businesses. Funded primarily through postage sales rather than taxpayer money, it plays a crucial role in communication and commerce, adapting to technological changes while maintaining its core mission of reliable mail delivery.
