With the utube era, the post office should have put videos and a menu for all service from a basic service 1st class to certified mail and receipt and others. One time a guy customer refused to help me on the machine. He said "the PostOffice is supposed to teach you", I asked the guy, after waiting for the special door PostOffice to help me, and no help, I gave up and asked the customer. The customer chose to be rude to me because of the sloppy PostOffice.

The most important thing; END your session AFTER your stamps are printed or your label is created. Why? If the session stays open the Kiosk allows the next visitor to print more stamps using the credit card auth YOU did before (up to a total of 50 Dollars) That's a really important bug in the user interface of that machines...

And that is why you must follow the directions and answer the screen to make sure you’re logged out and card retrieved

yes - I know - but as USPS advertises in a video I use these in a rush. - For example, subway in 4 minutes and having 6 letters to stamp and post. I can't do that with the USPS staff like "here letters, here debit card via NFC, stamp them, post them - I'm gone..." for that use scenario having to log off is not ideal... even for the "ahh finally, stamps for my letters I already wanted to send yesterday" people...

Nice, thorough demonstration. However, your package was more than 3/4 inch thick and you selected less than the measurement. So, did you have postage due? I don't know how the post office handles such, save for the recipient receiving a notice from the destined post office for the postage due. Nevertheless, thank you for the demonstration via this video. Btw, using your credit card is there a fee for the use of the kiosk? I don't like paying fees for anything and it is most unfortunate that the machine doesn't accept cash, for that's how I pay for postage. Thank you......

@Jay_Rule 3 ай бұрын

Because this is flat rate priority mail, there is no need for measurement as long as it fits inside the container. There is no weight limit and always cheaper than weighed packages. Ask the teller next time which is the better deal.

As long as it fits and the right amount of postage is applied it can go there. That drop off box isn't just for flat rate items.

You have to write the to and from address on another label. You can pick those sticker labels at USPS and it's free. The paid label is just tracking for the package.

Hey Jay, I’m writing a piece of fanmail and want something in return. If I include an envelope with the shipping label above would it still work or does the shipping label have to correspond with the date it was purchased? Also, If I included my own postage but wanted a tracking number, how would I be able to do this?I’m not sure if I’m clear, any help would be highly appreciated!

@Jay_Rule 3 жыл бұрын

You will need to provide a prepaid label for the right weight and shipping type (Express, Priority etc) to the person you are sending it to so they can send you the item if they don't want to cover the shipping fee. The date doesn't have anything to do with it as long as there is the right postage amount. If you paid for the label it should come with tracking so when it is scanned and shipped by the shipper, the tracking number will be active and valid.

FOUR DAYS and counting tracking still says "USPS has received electronic notification from our Self-Service Kiosk (SSK) in (Town and State on Date) to expect your item for mailing." I dropped it off and it claims it is STILL WAITING FOR THE ITEM! Now I have to check every hour for status. NEVER AGAIN! I WILL WAIT IN LINE THAN SUFFER LIKE THIS! THIS IS RIDICULOUS! Why not have a kiosk like a bank deposit box that closes before scanning and weights the item and prints ITEM ACCEPTED?

Just like what the tracking says "USPS has received electronic notification from our Self-Service Kiosk (SSK)" and NOT "ITEM ACCEPTED." .... NEVER AGAIN WILL I GET IN THIS GAME OF CAT AND MOUSE.

Are you shipping it via USPS or unmarked boxes because you can't use fedex UPS DHL in their drop off boxes.
