Delivering Our Best
On-time delivery of overnight-committed First-Class Mail held at a record 95% for the year—and jumped to an incredible 96% in quarter three! And service in all measured categories reached record levels.* Customers told us they saw improvements in unmeasured service categories, as well.
Satisfying Customers
We delivered for our customers, and they noticed. Independently measured customer satisfaction scores for the fourth quarter reached a new height, with 94% of residential customers rating their experience with the Postal Service as excellent, very good or good.
Staying Productive
We achieved a record fifth straight year of positive total factor productivity (TFP). These gains have provided the equivalent of $6.1 billion in cost savings. TFP includes all factors of production and measures the growth in the ratio of resources we use—the inputs—to the products and services they produce—the outputs.

A relationship built on trust.
The U.S. Postal Service is the most visible and personal of all federal agencies. People know they can trust the Postal Service. And, postal employees are a part of the neighborhoods they serve, making significant contributions to their communities.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service, one of the country's oldest federal law enforcement agencies, protects mail users by investigating criminal acts involving the mail, postal employees and property
Sales of the Breast Cancer Research semi-postal stamp raised more than $42.6 million from the sales of nearly 600 million stamps
