Village Post Offices are operated by community businesses to provide selected postal products and services, including Forever stamps and Priority Mail Flat Rate packages and envelopes. These retail units also may provide Post Office Boxes either inside or outside the business.
They can bring needed foot traffic to corner markets, gas stations, and other merchants who have been hit hard by the economic downturn.
Business establishments interested in applying for a contract with the Postal Service to start a Village Post Office in their local community should contact:
vpo.inquiry@usps.gov or call 888-711-7577
"We have the opportunity to become more efficient and at the same time, provide a better experience for our customers," says Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe, noting that more than 35 percent of USPS retail revenue comes from expanded access locations such as grocery stores, office supply stores, retail chains and usps.com.
