Welcome to your holiday workshop

Spreading Holiday Cheer

Santa may have a workshop filled with busy elves, but did you know the Postal Service® has its own workshop? We sure do! And we are busy in our workshop getting ready to make the holidays easier for you. Beginning Nov. 6, the Postal Service will be delivering Santa’s workshop right to your home in the form of an information-filled mail piece! All you have to do is check your mailbox.

There is so much to do during this rushed holiday season and we know the tasks can be endless. The Postal Service wants to add a little magic to your holiday, by simplifying a few of your errands. So, go to the mailbox and take a peek. We have all the tools you need to send gifts and greetings to your family and friends – right from the comfort of your home.

All you have to do is sit back, relax and visit our workshop at usps.com/workshop. Our elves are taking your stress away so you can order free shipping boxes and have them shipped to your home. No time to stop at your local Post Office™? Our workshop can help you choose your holiday stamps, pick some gift cards and have it all sent to your home to personalize and mail.

While visiting our workshop, why not sign up for Informed Delivery® to digitally preview your mail and packages through daily email notifications? With Informed Delivery you can view incoming holiday cards, interact with special offers and manage packages that are arriving.

We even provide all the key shipping dates at your fingertips to make sure you don’t miss any shipping deadlines. These dates can be loaded right into your mobile device to populate your calendar.

But wait, there’s more magic! Check out Click-N-Ship® where you can pay for postage, print a shipping label and ship from your home. You can even schedule free package pickup.

So sit back, relax, bake some cookies and spend time with your family and friends. Let us help make your holidays a little more merry and bright. After all, the U.S. Postal Service delivers to more homes than anyone else during the holidays, with one notable exception.
