The U.S. Mail — or the United States Postal Service — was the official system in the United States of America of carrying and delivering letters and parcels.
History
In 2015, the U.S. Mail also ran a fax service called Pac Fax, where public mailboxes had fax machines built in so that people could send faxes while on the move. One such mailbox was present in Courthouse Square, Hill Valley and advertised a “.05 Second Service”.
According to Dr. Emmett Brown, the U.S. Weather Service was more efficient than the Post Office. It is unclear whether Doc was joking.
Behind the scenes
Several mail sacks, containing fans' questions about the Back to the Future trilogy, are mounted on the back of the DeLorean time machine in The Secrets of the Back to the Future Trilogy, which can be just seen behind Kirk Cameron.
- Several large bulging white mail sacks, containing questions about the Back to the Future trilogy sent in by fans, were mounted on the back of the DeLorean time machine in which host Kirk Cameron arrived in an Old West town at the start of the 1990 behind-the-scenes television show The Secrets of the Back to the Future Trilogy.
