Postal Products Available at The UPS Store

Did you know you could purchase postal products at The UPS Store locations? Well, you can!

Most The UPS Store locations offer a full line of postal products. You can buy stamps without going to the Post Office and waiting in line for a half hour to buy a book of stamps. Keep in mind that The UPS Store locations are franchised stores; therefore, you pay a marked-up rate for stamps and metered mail in order to cover the franchise fees that the owner has to pay to Mail Boxes Etc, the franchisor of The UPS Store locations. It is usually worth the extra cost to not have to stand in line to get stamps or mail a package.

You should also know that UPS is CHEAPER than the Post Office for packages that are 5 pounds and above. When you take into consideration that UPS offers $100.00 of FREE insurance on every package, FREE tracking service, and GUARANTEED delivery for your package, there is really no comparison to the Post Office.

For all of your shipping (or mailing) needs, visit your local The UPS Store location and see what one-stop shopping can save you in gasoline costs and time waiting in line.
