US Postal Service – Made Easier for Online Retailers

The United States Postal Service (USPS) has redesigned its website to improve customer satisfaction and increase ease of use. It is now easier for retailers to find shipping information and services for both domestic and international needs.

“We are committed to making USPS.com one of the best government web sites, and one of the best web sites in the nation,” says Robert Bernstock, president, U.S.P.S. Shipping and Mailing Services. “These changes help guarantee that our web site is relevant, customer-focused and, most important, easy to use.”

The new business section is of particular interest for e-commerce merchants selling and shipping their products both nationally and internationally. Online retailers can choose between a variety of shipping methods, that include options such as tracking, guaranteed delivery, insurance and express services.

Retailers selling overseas can take advantage of the international shipping section , with resources and information on topics such as customs, shipping rates and export regulations. Online merchants selling to Chinese consumers can check out the USPS’ country specific pricing and guidelines for China.
