Looking back at Idaho’s history, you’ll find a lot of cool and quirky stories, including where a human child traveled through the mail.

One of the United States hardest mail routs is over 100 years old and only goes once a week through Hells Canyon. A couple has been doing the rout for over 30 years and now tours take you along for the journey every Wednesday.

Travel is expensive. What if you just want your kiddo to visit grandma but cant afford it? This Idaho couple got creative. The United States Postal Service Parcel Post started getting underway in 1913. At the beginning there was little to no rules on what you could or couldn't ship. The only real rule was that there was a 50 pound limit on anything you wanted to ship.

You want to show your gratitude, but is it illegal to tip these folks?

Oftentimes, we hear about scams and the only thing we can do is "be careful." When it comes to this particular scam, however, we can put a stop to it.

How much do we actually know about those who deliver our mail everyday?

If it takes three days for a letter to reach your mailbox now, starting on October 1 it may take five days or more for the same letter to get where it's going. The Treasure Valley is in a section of the country that will be the most negatively impacted by the new slowdowns.

If your Christmas gifts don't arrive on time this year, there's a perfectly good reason why.

The USPS is offering several suggestions to make your shipping process this holiday season as stress-free as possible and to ensure your package is delivered on time before Christmas day.
