Can mail carrier deliver stamps

In the United States, mail carriers are not typically authorized to deliver stamps. Here's why:

  1. Postal regulations: The United States Postal Service (USPS) has specific regulations regarding the sale and distribution of stamps. According to USPS regulations, stamps can only be sold at authorized post offices, online, or through other approved channels.
  2. Mail carrier duties: Mail carriers are responsible for delivering mail and packages, not selling stamps. Their primary focus is on delivering mail and packages to customers, not on selling postal products.
  3. Security and accountability: Mail carriers are not equipped to handle cash transactions or manage inventory, which is a requirement for selling stamps. Additionally, there may be concerns about the security and accountability of handling cash and stamps.

If you need to purchase stamps, you can visit a local post office, use the USPS website to buy stamps online, or use a stamp vending machine (if available in your area).
