USPS
National letter carriers
USPS is the United States Postal Service, the federal agency that delivers mail.
It appears on packaging, tracking numbers, and shipping options: I sent it USPS Priority Mail.
The acronym is standard in discussions of shipping choices alongside private carriers like UPS and FedEx.
