Do mail carriers sell stamps

In the United States, mail carriers (also known as postal carriers or letter carriers) are not typically authorized to sell stamps. According to the United States Postal Service (USPS), mail carriers are responsible for delivering mail and packages, not selling postal products or services.

If you need to purchase stamps, you can typically find them at:

  1. Post Offices: You can visit a local post office or a self-service kiosk to buy stamps.
  2. Online: You can purchase stamps online from the USPS website or other online retailers.
  3. Retail Stores: Some retail stores, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, or office supply stores, may carry a limited selection of stamps.

However, some mail carriers may be able to provide you with information on where to buy stamps or help you with other postal-related services, such as tracking packages or answering questions about mail delivery. But they are not authorized to sell stamps directly to customers.

It's worth noting that some private companies, like mail centers or shipping stores, may offer stamp sales, but these are not affiliated with the USPS.
