Unable to access usps website from home, but it came up in the staples store where I took my computer to clear the cache...all that has been done, but cannot access it from home...what does that tell you?

This is a reply to FredMcD: after clearing the cache, I still could not access the usps website. I decided to contact the company that provides protections for my computer, AVG. I have something called Secure VNP....and even though my location on it shows as USA, New York....that was the problem for some reason. It was changed to USA, Seattle and I was able to get the website which I added to my bookmarks. I don't really understand why the New York location didn't work anymore, but for some reason it didn't.
Thank you very much Helen Barron helenbarron@earthlink.net
