Before Calling, Try USPS Social Network Support

Since they always make it more difficult to get a real person on the phone, maybe try to contact them on social media.

To contact a live customer service person from USPS on Twitter click: USPS Help Twitter page and click “Message” to send them your message.

To contact a live customer service agent from USPS on Facebook go to this link: USPS Facebook page and click “Send message” to send your message.
