The Post Office shows trust appreciation
For the third year in a row, Americans have rated the U.S. Postal Service as the number one government agency they trust to protect their privacy.
Overall, the Postal Service earned a rating of 83 percent in a recent Privacy Trust Study of the United States Government, conducted by Ponemon Institute L.L.C. The average trust score among the 60 agencies surveyed was 47 percent.
Rhe Privacy Trust Study found that Americans remain concerned over a “loss of civil liberties and privacy rights,” “surveillance into personal life,” and “monitoring e-mail and Web activities.” While many federal agencies saw their ratings drop, the Postal Service was one of the few to increase both its customer satisfaction and trust scores.
The Post Office thanks its customers for their confidence. The Post Office appreciates your business and your trust, and looks forward to serving your mailing needs.

Mr. Zip’s Tip: If it were a private sector company, the U.S. Postal Service would rank 26th in the 2008 Fortune 500. First-Class Mail, Advertising Mail and Shipping Services would each make the list as individual businesses-ranking 61st, 119th, and 310th respectively.
