Do you reguest that your carrier pick up packages, using the online entry, every time you have packages to be sent? Or, do you stick them in your box and they get picked up?

Well, i would've used it (pickup) when i shipped diaper buddies for the co-op, but until recently (February?) there was a fee of around $13
The flat rate mailers don't fit in our box, so i have to drop them at the PO. Pick up will be much easier. Especially because that click and ship postage is dated and heaven forbid i don't go to the PO when i think i will - the postage has to be all redone or something. this way, i can print it and have them come get it.
As long as they aren't too big or too heavy, I leave them for my mailman. He never complains, plus by the time he gets to our house his bag is almost empty, so no big deal for him. It's nice to have such a nice mailman. I always worry when I hear the horror stories of other people's mail carriers!

I leave packages on our front steps and our mailman picks them up.
I *love* click and ship -- I use virtual PC software with it (on my Mac computer) and it works great, if a tad slow. It is SO much easier than going to the post office.
The only reason I don't use it is because it is only for priority mail. A lot of what I ship can go first class and often I use Parcel Post. Since I use those other two ways to ship I just use Stamps.com
But yeah, I leave everything for my mail person. She comes in a truck so I don't have to worry about size.
Well, she took them.
My little guy still is feeling lousy, so I didn't want to drag him out. I only had Priority Mail today (usually, I have 1st class packages) so I put them in the mailbox. We live on a driving route, so she didn't have to carry them in her shoulder bag. I probably won't be able to do it often, but it was nice to do it today. I was afraid I would have to request the carrier to pick them up like it said on the website.
Does anyone else have a problem printing labels? I got one to print but the java page never closed so after about 30 minutes, I closed the window and was then directed to the usps site saying that since I cancelled the page it was canceling the label. Then I got an email saying that I had been charged. So, I requested a refund because it said that the label was no longer good. I tried to print it up two more times but it wouldn't print either time - the java page would open and it would go through the credit card part but ages would go by and nothing would print but I would get emails saying that I was being charged.
