U.S. Postal Service Expands Greeting Card Retail Network

The U.S. Postal Service is expanding its test of greeting card sales from 500 offices to about 900. Busy consumers can buy, stamp and mail a greeting card while conducting other Postal Service business under this year-long pilot program launched last fall. By the end of March about 1,500 locations will offer cards.

Offering greeting cards on a limited basis serves as a market test to determine if customer interest is high enough to warrant expanding the program throughout the country, according to Robert Bernstock, president, Mailing and Shipping Services.
