Post Office Questions

What is the least expensive way to send my 400-piece mailing?

How long will it take my package to get to its destination?

It depends on the method of shipping you use, the weight, and how much you wish to spend. Please contact the Post Office at 704-894-2126 for more information. 

Can you help me find the least expensive way to ship packages?

Yes. We are able to compare pricing of USPS, FedEx and UPS, and then offer you the lowest priced shipping method.

Should I insure packages that I send through the USPS?

Only if you can prove the value of the item that you are going to ship. The USPS only pays for shipping damages if you can provide a receipt to verify the original cost.

Only students may pay for postage with Declining Balance on their CatCard. Other forms of payment for customers include major credit/debit cards, cash, and checks made payable to "Postmaster."
