The U.S. Postal Service has announced plans to open pilot units at 82 Staples locations throughout the country.

The centers, the first of which opened in November, will offer most postal products, including stamps, mail services and package delivery.

USPS will be the exclusive mailing and shipping option at those Staples locations.

The agreement with Staples is part of the USPS’s “retail partner expansion program.” The first openings will take place in San Francisco, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, San Diego and Worchester, Mass., near Staples’ Framingham headquarters.
