Although work from home jobs in the postal industry are relatively limited, there are some roles in areas like data entry, envelope stuffing, and packaging and shipping. For example, as a shipping specialist, you may operate a mail-order business, where you scan and package orders at home, then contact the local post office to pick up each package. As part of this job, you may determine the correct postage for each order, audit records and information, or provide any other remote service that a shipping company needs. Work from home postal jobs are not limited to the United States Post Office—they can also be found with shipping companies of all sizes, including small, local companies that may not be well-known outside of a city, county, or state.
