USPS: Reports Decline in Mail Volume

I am reading today that USPS has experienced a decline in mailing due to the current economic slow down. They expect to end the year with a overall decline of 9 billion mailing pieces.


Here are some collected resources on the matter:

• Economy-Driven Mail Volume Decline Contributes to Postal Service $2.8 Billion Year-End Loss

USPS: Rent a PO Box Online

USPS now PO Box rental and management online. I am not sure exactly how this works, but I imagine you go to their website, find the PO Box section. Register and pay for the rental of a PO Box, and then they will mail you a key or you will have to go down to the post office and verify yourself to pick up your key.

Pretty Cool.
