Are you reading Postal Facts?
Earlier this year, USPS updated the popular website with even more impressive data about operations, stamps and other topics.
New features include “Postal Is …,” a section that emphasizes the organization’s values, including its focus on employees, customers and providing trusted, affordable service.
Other additions include a section on USPS innovations, such as Automated Package Verification, a program that automates postage collection.
Also, Postal Facts now highlights surprising information, like this out-of-this-world tidbit: In 2018, USPS employees traveled 1.4 billion miles to deliver mail, equivalent to 52,220 laps around the Earth.
The site is available at facts.usps.com, where you can also download all the information as a PDF document. You can also share individual facts on social media.
