US Postal Service
National letter carrier
The US Postal Service is the federal agency that delivers mail throughout the United States, commonly called USPS or simply the post office.
It operates as an independent establishment of the executive branch, funded primarily by postage sales rather than tax revenue.
The package should arrive by Friday if you send it through the US Postal Service.
