U.S. Postal Service new website

Customers visiting the new and improved usps.com homepage will notice less clutter and easier-to-find links to the products and services they use most, including online shipping, package pickup and shipping supplies. In addition to the cleaner design, graphics highlighting the most popular product and service offerings will help customers more easily navigate the site and find the information they need.
These changes are the first step towards improving the site. Before the redesign, the Postal Service’s website ranked fourth among all government agencies, according to an August report from the Brookings Institution. Brookings ranked 61 government sites based on their effectiveness at using interactive features to engage the public and provide services. In addition, usps.com made BtoB Magazine’s 2008 list for “The 10 Best Internets for BtoB Customers.”
usps.com is one of the most frequently visited government sites, averaging more than 386 million visitors each year and close to 1.2 million visitors each day.

“We are committed to making usps.com one of the best government websites, and one of the best websites in the nation,” said Robert Bernstock, president, Shipping and Mailing Services. “These changes help guarantee that our website is relevant, customer-focused and, most important, easy to use.”

usps.com features sections for both consumers and businesses — large and small. Consumers can calculate prices, find a ZIP Code, locate a Post Office, track and confirm mail delivery, print shipping labels and request free package pickup. The usps.com business section includes information on Post Office locations, creating direct mail, shipping services as well as supplies and payment options and tools.

“usps.com is the ultimate Post Office,” Bernstock said. “Almost anything you can do at a Post Office, you can do online at usps.com.”
