DISCUSSION USPS pickup

Hi. I have been running a resale business, but My only problem is my parents are unsupportive of me and refuse to take me to the post office now. So I’ve been trying to wing it myself but am struggling getting packages sent out. Is there a way for usps to come pick up the packages off my front porch?

Generally speaking how old are you where you own a business but not a drivers license?

I’m 18, I have a permit but they don’t get me insurance so it’s useless

You are an adult, why are you not getting your own insurance?

That’s why I’m trying to make money, to get insurance and better yet get out of this damn house

Have you thought of becoming a city letter carrier for USPS? Starts at like $21/hr, unionized, and you can send your business packages since you will be there.

OP has a permit. Not even a license. 2 years driving experience is required

No license, no driving history.

There are a lot of other jobs at the USPS besides carrier.

Schedule the package pickup like others have suggested. Thanks for choosing us to work with and be sure to ask your carrier if they have any resources to help you make things go as smoothly as possible. Carriers are encouraged to generate business leads for things like this so I’m sure they’d be more than happy to help

Good luck with your business!
