Mail, or post, is a method for transmitting information and tangible objects, wherein written documents, typically enclosed in envelopes and also small packages are delivered to destinations around the world. Anything sent through the postal system is called mail or post.

In principle, a postal service can be private or public. Governments often place restrictions on private postal delivery systems. Since the mid 19th century national postal systems have generally been established as government monopolies with a fee on the article prepaid. Proof of payment is often in the form of adhesive postage stamps, but postage meters are also used for bulk mailing.

Postal systems often have functions other than sending letters. In some countries, a Postal Telegraph and Telephone (PTT) service oversees the postal system as well as having authority over telephone and telegraph systems. Some countries' postal systems allow for savings accounts and handle applications for passports.

Do postal services all over the world deliver international mail for free?
Q. EG If I send a letter from the States to Australia who pays the delivery costs? I pay for my stamp/postage to UPS so does Australia Post deliver it for free? Or does UPS send money to Aus Post? Or does the price of my stamp reflect how much it costs for UPS to recipricate ie what it costs them to deliver mail from Australia? Does ANYONE know???

United States Postal Services vehicles are the ONLY ones authorized to run a red traffic light???
Q. HELP!!! I have a bet going on w/ my neighbor about whether or not US Postal trucks are the only vehicles allowed to run red lights... I say that the law states they are because they can be carrying the Declaration of War. He states that any emergency vehicle is able to avoid the traffic law as long as they have lights on. Please help us solve this LONG dispute & prove that I am right!!!
