Sales Activity

Sellers Beware

  • If you’re on duty or in uniform at any postal facility, you’re prohibited from engaging in any outside sales activity — including soliciting business or taking orders for yourself or someone else.
  • For example, you can’t sell cosmetics or take orders for mulch on postal premises.

When you don’t engage in outside sales activity at work, you help maintain a harmonious work environment — your colleagues won’t feel coerced or obligated to buy something from you.

And that’s smart business.

Contact the Ethics Office (ethics.help@usps.gov) for guidance on sales activity.
