How to Find a USPS Mailbox
Suppose you are at work and have some items that have to be mailed and you were in a meeting and missed the office pick up. You need to find a U.S. Postal Service drop box (also known as a blue box) and the time the mail is picked up, as some of your letters arrive by next day. You could call information and get the phone number for the post office in your office zip code or you could do it the easiest way of all and look it up online.
