Hello all!
The following recommendation applies to U.S. residents as I have not researched other countries Post systems, but please feel free to research and add your specific info if you desire!
I have noticed a few sellers recently suspend their sales. I want everyone to know I respect your decision to so, however, if you are solely placing a hold to avoid going out in public: good news!
You can have the USPS schedule a pickup for free when your regular carrier delivers the mail. You will need to register at usps.com but you can also print your postage from there as well, so that's pretty sweet.
If you need boxes, you can request a free delivery of boxes, (they will be express, priority or flat rate, whichever you request so remember to match your postage accordingly).
Scheduling a pickup is super easy; granted, maybe your situation has nosey neighbors or family, or you don't have a relatively secure place to leave your outgoing package, but for a large amount of us this eliminates the need to go the PO.
During a time when one may need to sell things for extra cash or ship toilet paper to far-flung relatives, it's nice to have this as an option! ^.^
Take care of yourselves! ♡
