post offices

Stamp-selling locations

A post office is the place where you go to mail letters and packages, to buy stamps, and to do other business related to mail.

A post office is also the place where mail is collected, sorted, and sent out for delivery.

In smaller towns, a post office is often the official address of residents, even when they don’t actually live at the post office.
