Few people enjoy standing in line at the post office. But you need to if you ran out of stamps! Turns out, you can order stamps online at USPS.com, and the stamps arrive directly at your door!
Why I Loved Ordering Stamps Online
- Stamps are the same price that you would pay if you bought them in-person (there is a $1.50 handling fee, but you don't pay for shipping).
- No waiting in line (and totally worth the handling fee to avoid that chaos)!
- Pick from all of the fun designs! In my order I grabbed all Forever stamps, but some Snoopy designs, flowers, and elephants. Enough to last through next year (hopefully)!
Get A USPS Stamp Subscription
Always running out of stamps when you need them most? You can also schedule a subscription to have stamps delivered to your door on a recurring schedule! Unfortunately, you can't pick the design, but you can pick between postcard and standard stamps.
Need to Ship A Package?
Years ago I switched over to Ship.com to send packages from home, and now I will avoid in-person post office entirely! I weigh the package, print out the shipping label, and schedule a standard USPS pickup (free if it's with your regular home delivery service). Your Ship.com account also saves addresses and keeps tabs on the tracking numbers, so you can make sure it arrived. I believe the only requirement is that you keep a credit in your account, so I keep about $10 there. As for boxing materials, I usually ship in old mailer bags or will refashion cereal boxes by turning them inside out. Easy peasy.
