or does it hand it over to the local postal service, (example: shipment to UK-flies it to UK and then gives it to royal mail or does the USPS personally give it to the people?)

USPS delivers it to the foreign post office - like the royal mail.
The USPS doesn't have foreign post offices - although some mail is handled through US embassies and military post offices abroad.
The foreign post office (the royal mail) does the actual delivery.

Does Usps Ship Internationally

Surface options for International Mail were eliminated by the USPS quite a few years ago. Declining use and unreliable time frames were the reasons. If your packages are in a foreign country and you wish to ship in to the US, using the state run postal service of that country will result in the USPS taking over delivery of the package once it clears Customs.

US Postal does not have office in every foreign country.
All non-parcel mail gets shipped to the specific country where that nation's postal service is responsible for delivery.
Many Global Priority parcels that are shipped by US Postal are handled by FedEx. That is why Global Priority mail has endured a major price increase recently.

No, it does not operate or it does not have operations in each country. It hands it over to the local postal service. It's like FedEx to FedEx, UPS to UPS, Government's Postal Service to Local Government's Postal Service. =)

USPS turns it over to the local mail service of the other country.

Generally, it passes to the receiving countries post system. There are a few cases where the USPS carries it on, such as when the mail is addressed to a US base in another country.

I work for DHL the shipping company and I can tell you now that if I was you would definitely ship using DHL. 1. DHL can deliver to over 230 countries and with our over 285,000 employees we can deliver to any US zip code.USPS, FedEx and UPS can only do about 180 countries. 2. DHL owns more foreign offices than any of our competitors combined. 3. DHL is in more countries that Coca-cola, McDonald's or even the UN. 4.When you ship internationally you should always go DHL than FedEx, UPS and USPS. USPS is best with it's ground in America not international. 5. DHL has recently invested 1.2 billion dollars in upgrading our entire U.S network by modernizing and expanding with the latest technology; so we can sort,scan,track, and coordinate more deliveries, more efficiently than ever before. But any way to answer your question I don't think their is a UK office because the UK uses DHL and royal mail. I think it is transferred to royal mail.

There are drop off points where it enters the system of the other country and they take it from there.
Otherwise we qould have to have US mailmen on call to deliver mail to every address inthe world every day and that might be expensive :)

They hand off the shipments. In fact many of the carriers (UPS, DHL, FED EX) will hand it off to partners abroad.
