Postal Service Expands Carrier Pickup Service
With the addition of 471 new ZIP codes – a two year project – the free Carrier Pickup service offered by the U.S. Postal Service is now available at 99.97 percent of all mail delivery addresses in the nation.
Carrier Pickup enhances the discounted postage available for residents who print their postage labels from usps.com using their home or business computers. Free delivery confirmation service is included as well.
First introduced in 2004, Carrier Pickup today is available at more than 130 million mail delivery addresses within 36,645 ZIP codes. Priority Mail, Express Mail, Parcel Return Service, Express Mail International and Priority Mail International are some of the products eligible for the free service, which customers can request online.
Carrier Pickup is a popular option among busy consumers, e-commerce merchants, and businesses of all sizes. Postal delivery people have established Carrier Pickup as one of the most convenient ways to ship packages.
In addition to Carrier Pickup, USPS offers four other options for package pickup to meet the needs of customers – Pickup on Demand, Scheduled Pickup On Demand Service, No Fee Pickup Service and Collection Service.
