USPS centres are ditching postage stamp vending machines, the company has said.
The service’s 12,000 vending machines will be gone by August, in a cost cutting intiative.
“Most of these machines were 20 years old,” Frances Sansone, a Postal Service spokeswoman said. Most customers using the machines usually buy just single stamps nowadays, she added. “We’re not taking in enough money to work the machines.”
By removing the machines, the Postal Service expects to save at least $66m on expenses, maintenance, parts and labour.
