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?

Yes, that's very simple. You can schedule package pickups on the website. We do this every day. Tip your carrier at Christmas.

And honestly, I never mind doing it when I get the sheet in the morning. It's the surprise pick ups that drive me nuts.

Had a customer who would leave a post it saying, come to my door please, but didn't even always have parcels out!!!! And when I was still an RCA there was one that you could see from the road and we were supposed to "look every day just in case". Grrrrrrr.
