We also offer stamps by phone at 800-STAMPS-24 (800-782-6724).  In addition, stamps and other retail products can be ordered via our Internet home page at www.usps.com by clicking on “Buy Stamps & Shop”.  Stamp orders are delivered directly to your mailing address.  Our new Click-N-Ship online mailing service will calculate rates, find ZIP Codes, standardize and save addresses, store shipping history information, and print mailing labels with postage.  It also offers free Delivery Confirmation or Signature confirmation as an option and mailers can call ahead for free carrier pick-up.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation during our transition period.  Once a date has been scheduled, we will announce the celebration date for our new state of the art facility with a Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.  We will give you plenty of notice time in hope that you will participate in the ceremony as a keynote speaker. 

Sincerely,

Michael Deignan
