Overview

The guide was updated: 2025-01-23

Sending parcels and letters in the US is a relatively straightforward process. The most common method is through the United States Postal Service (USPS). The USPS offers a variety of services for sending mail, including First-Class Mail for letters and postcards, Priority Mail for packages, and Priority Mail Express for overnight delivery. To send a parcel or letter, you will need to take it to a USPS post office or use a USPS blue collection box. Use the USPS website to find the nearest post office or collection box to your location. Additionally, you can also use private couriers such as FedEx and UPS, which often provide a wider range of services and faster delivery times, but generally at a higher cost.

Public Transport

Public transportation in Palm Beach is primarily served by the Palm Tran bus system, which offers a network of routes connecting key areas within the region. While buses are an affordable way to get around, they may not always be the most convenient option for tourists, especially for those looking to visit specific attractions quickly or avoid long travel times. For tourists, rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are often more practical and efficient. For information on fares, routes, and timetables, visit Palm Tran's official website.
