Carrier Pickup is an important factor in the Postal Service’s positive revenue and volume results for the package business.\u00a0 With carriers going to homes and businesses every day, Carrier Pickup makes it easy for customers to ship with the Postal Service.<\/p>\n Carriers are happy to provide this service for their customers. It’s a convenience that all businesses–large and small-can appreciate, and it can help grow business. Customers also are increasingly positive in their feedback.\u00a0 According to a survey conducted online by an external vendor, 88 percent of customers surveyed in February reported they were satisfied with the Carrier Pickup experience, including online scheduling and the pickup itself.<\/p>\n To schedule a presentation for your community, club or group on how the Postal Service brings the Post Office to your home or office computer, call 239-573-9638.
