Carrier Pickup is Easy to Use

• Go online to usps.com/pickup
  And follow the prompts. It’s free, regardless of the number of packages you’re sending. Your letter carrier will pick up your package when your regular mail is delivered. Arrange a next-day pickup or let us know up to three months in advance that your packages will be ready.
• Always open
  The Internet never closes. It’s open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. So when you’re ready to schedule a free package pickup, we’re ready to make the pickup, available Monday to Saturday.
• We pick up international packages, too
  Free package pickup is available for packages being sent by domestic Express Mail, Priority Mail, or returns packages – and international mail.
• What you should know
  Packages must be ready for shipment before your carrier arrives. Requests must be made by 2 a.m. CT on the day you’ve requested free package pickup. Maximum weight per package is 70 pounds. There is no limit to the number of packages that can be picked up. Proper postage must be applied.
• Mailpieces weighing more than 13 ounces bearing only postage stamps as postage must be taken by the customer to an employee at the retail counter of a Post Office, Contract Postal Unit, or Approved Shipper location.
