Post Office delivering the groceries? USPS's plans go beyond delivering mail By Haya El Nasser, USA TODAY 09/28/99- Updated 12:27 AM ET WASHINGTON - Soon, the mailman might be showing up at your door with more than the usual bills and junk mail. Think groceries, prescriptions, dry cleaning, flowers and even video rentals, courtesy of the U.S. Postal Service. And, you might get e-mails along with your starched shirts and carnations - even if you don't own a computer - thanks to a postal e-mail address that could be assigned to every household and business. <excerpts> But what the Postal Service is toying with now is much bolder: -Delivering more than the mail.
