I applied through other source. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Shreve, OH) in Jun 2010
Interview
In most cases employees are hired in lower level positions and must work their way up to higher level positions. Employees must take an entrance exam and score in the 90% to be considered for a position. Employees are selected for interview and hiring based strictly by their exam score. A criminal background check and preemployment screening must show negative results in order to hired. The interview questions are mostly general in nature and center around work hour availibility and physical requirements of the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The jobs at the Postal Service are very demanding even at lowere level positions so the most difficult question to answer is wheter you are willing to work any hours and any day of the week. If not chances are you will be passed over.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Manhattan, KS) in Jul 2014
Interview
I applied online and was instructed to take a personality test, after the personality test I scheduled an appointment for the 473 exam. I scored an 83.8 which is decent plus 5 points for serving active duty in military. The test is pretty easy, just make sure you look at the memorization part as long as possible, and do the sample memorization part as well which use the same addresses they give you in the "real" test. I then waited two weeks and was contacted by email for a one on one interview. The interview was very simple. Asking questions about job experience. I was contacted the next day for a drug test and offered the position.

Question 1
All were very easy, make sure you respond to questions about safety hazards by saying you would follow all safety procedures and policies before preforming a task.
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Mansfield, OH) in Jul 2014
Interview
Process took 5+ months from beginning to end. Initially applied online back in February 2014 and just received word today that I got offered the position. After applying online, within a week I received an email to fill out an on-line background check and required to fax a paper. Simultaneously I scheduled a test to take at a semi-local college. If you want to know what the test is about, google it or see comments on here. After completion of that and almost immediate results, I heard nothing for easily 3+ months. During that time and till the end, online just said "In-process" & "Pre-screening"; this was very frustrating to say the least, and I gave up on it.
Roughly 3 weeks ago, I received an email asking me to do the background check on-line and faxing the form in again, along with scheduling an interview at my local post office. After completing that, I scored an interview after about 2-3 days. Interview was easy (see below), equivalent to them checking to see if you have a pulse honestly. Following the interview, I heard nothing and was slowly starting to drift away from remembering I applied.
Today I received a phone call from the HR rep and they offered me the job. Start orientation in 1 1/2 weeks, then it's off to being a pack mule! On a side note, all correspondence typically has a 3 day reply time to acknowledge the tasks they give you, so make sure to browse spam folder often to make sure. Also, make sure you research the test subjects and stuff, the last part can be tricky, as your test score means a lot on the waiting list.

Question 1
Questions are non-existent or few at best. Very basic questions. Besides just acting professionally and answering the questions like you personally were hiring for your company, I'd recommend scrubbing everyone else's questions on here.
