Living in a condo, with an out-box for only letters, I cannot arrange pickup. For me, the post office was my only option and I have no problem stopping by.

You can never have too many cigars, they are like an investment in good times.

I don't use the carrier pick up either... If I see my letter carrier I will give any packages to them. Otherwise I drive them over to the post office. If you pay online they allow you to leave the packages on the loading dock -- which get picked up more frequently than the collection bins out front. I just hate waiting in line at the post office so I do everything I can to avoid it...

You don't have to have an out box. You can simply arrange for a pick-up and on the online form check the box that the package is inside the house. The biggest problem with this, is that you must be home at whatever time of day the person comes by and gets it.

Also, shipping a flat rate box covered with paper is in conflict with the agreement you checked when getting the boxes for free.

Online also has free DC. The flat rate envelope is the best option.

If you request a pickup, you can leave it on your front porch. They will pick it up.

Ha, we had the same problem with UPS. We had overnights that needed to be picked up, but he was the 'ground' guy, and refused to pick it up.

You should talk to the USPS then. My work location is in an office condo and we have the mailboxes out on a pad. He still picks them up.
