Fact Sheet: Request Package Pickup

USPS.com provides you with two options at www.usps.com/pickup to have your Priority Mail, Express Mail, and international services packages picked up by a carrier. These options are Carrier Pickup™ service and Pickup on Demand® service. Just prepare your packages for shipping — including postage — and go online to request package pickup. Use Carrier Pickup ser­vice to have your carrier pick up packages at no extra charge during normal mail delivery anytime from the next day to up to 3 months in advance. If you need your pack­ages picked up sooner, use Pickup on Demand service — the pickup is usually made within 2 hours of the request for only $14.25 per pickup, regardless of the number of pack­ages. You can also use Pickup on Demand service to request a pickup within a scheduled time frame (rather than during normal mail delivery) up to 6 days in advance.

Customs forms are integrated with the online shipping labels, so there is no need for additional forms. However, if you need only customs forms for international and/or APO/FPO shipments, they are available online at https://webapps.usps.com/customsforms.
