You can pay for and schedule pickups online. Go to the USPS website. Click on Mail and Ship then schedule a pickup and it will tell you if the service is available in your area. Or, just call the post office and ask.

I had this question too. I’m thinking you would need a scale for this service?
This would be so helpful for me if it’s available in my area.

Like @katieperry said they do free pick up of priority package. You just leave it where your mailperson normally leaves your packages around the time you know they come or to be safe you can just wait for your mailcarrier and give it to them on their hands.
The great thing is that you can give you box toany mailcarrier. I have miss my mailmand and my husband takes the package on his car when driving around and gives it to any other mailcarrier on the street. My mailman takes a long time. He is a veteran with a bad knee, so when I need to be somewhere I take my packages to him down the street.

For the boxes you get a flat rate. I used to mail kits in parcele boxes, so I hat to weight them. I just got the weigh from a kit that was send to me and was using that. Never had a problem. I added a pound for bigger kits. Now I use the same weight I use for my dolls.

I hate buying ink. It is ridiculously expensive and I can’t figure out a good reason for it to be.

As far as USPS pick up goes, I’ve never used it but would love to. The only thing stopping me is that I heard that if you have to make an insurance claim, you need the original receipt. The only way to get that is by going to the post office.

Has anyone made a claim or know if this is true about the reciept?
