Expanded Access Options:

Self-Serve Ship and Mail Centers
Self-Serve Ship and Mail Centers offer customers additional access to Postal products and services. These self-serve units can be used for most mailing and shipping transactions. To locate a self-serve unit or other expanded access location, visit www.usps.com and select the “Locate a Post Office” option.

Mailers using a Self-Serve Ship and Mail Center should be aware that these units do not provide proof-of-mailing as the date of sale on the receipt does not necessarily represent the mailing date. A list of Self-Serve Ship and Mail Centers is provided below.

www.usps.com
www.usps.com is visited over 1 million times each day and offers customers 24/7 access to products and services from the convenience of their home office. Customers may take advantage of special discounts for on-line shipping services and arrange free Carrier Pickup service. Customers who print on-line postage on April 17 may place the mail piece in a collection box or drop box at the nearest retail unit.

Mailers are strongly advised to check the last pickup time posted on blue collection boxes before depositing their returns, as there will be no special collection of mail from these boxes. An April 18 postmark will be provided if the mail is deposited after the last pickup time posted.
