Customers at select Office Depot stores across the country now have another option for shipping services.
The Postal Service and the office supplies retailer have partnered to make USPS shipping and mailing products available at 1,083 Office Depot stores.
“We’re excited to extend some of the best shipping values in the country to Office Depot customers, at a time and place that’s convenient to them,” said Paul Vogel, president, Mailing and Shipping Services. “Small businesses, especially, will be able to compare shipping companies side by side and see for themselves that Postal Service prices are very competitive and affordable.”
Some of the services these Office Depot stores will offer include Priority Mail and Express Mail service, Delivery Confirmation and Signature Confirmation, Parcel Post, stamps and Priority Mail flat-rate boxes and envelopes.
The partnership with Office Depot is one more example of how the Postal Service is adjusting products and services to better fit the changing needs of its customers, while finding creative solutions to generate much needed revenue. Expanding access to products and services is one of the key components the Postal Service’s action plan for the future. Click here to read the plan.
