In the last few years, we have seen several postal service disruptions due to natural disasters such as Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Maria.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is one of the world’s oldest and largest postal services. It was established on July 1, 1775, by Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. The USPS is an independent agency of the US government and does not receive tax dollars for operating expenses.
The USPS has been a lifeline for many people since its inception in 1775. They provide delivery to every single address in America, including PO boxes, rural addresses, and military bases. They also deliver mail to other countries worldwide through international agreements with other postal services.
