UPS ships to Post Office ?????

I'm also a Postal employee - part time rural carrier - and like gunbunny pointed out, UPS (and local contract carriers) drops packages off every day at our facility. The clerks sort them by routes after we leave so they are then delivered the next day.

As stroked 340 mentioned, the price of sending a first class piece of mail within the states is pretty cheap compared to the rest of the world. Even sending international mail. we are less expensive. It costs my son living in Holland almost 1 Euro (actually .94 Euro) to mail a letter to me. That works out to $1.30 compared to the 90 cents it costs me to send him a letter. Of course email and IM is faster and free :-D
