And finally, a point of interest for our readers- the Postal Service is the only delivery service that visits every address in the nation, 146 million homes and businesses six days a week, and delivers nearly half the world's mail. It has 37,000 retail locations and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to pay for its operating expenses, not taxpayers dollars.
