Can you pay and print express mail and have it pick up at your door for next day delivery?
I have a bidder who needs something for Mother's day but a trip to the PO tomorrow is out of the question for me.

from the USPS website;
****************************************
.......Carrier Pickup: free; submit your request online at www.usps.com and have your Express Mail, Priority Mail, or international packages, with postage affixed, ready when your carrier arrives for your regular mail delivery......
*******************************************
BUT...you better make sure that your "regular mail delivery" and destination will qualify for EXPRESS...NOT all locations do.

Next day delivery often requires that the mail is at the post office at a required time (according to zipcode). I'm not sure all post carriers will be back at the PO in time for the deadline. I do know that you can make the request online (I believe as late as 2 AM).

Or you can call your local office early in the morning and ask your mailman to drop by .
If your mailman has already been to the post office to pick up his mail for delivery,ask the supervisor to call him on his cell phone,mine does that.
If you think your post man will not make it back to the post ofice with your express mail,you can schedule a special pick up,if your customer is willing to pay for it,or you will pay for it.

He didn't wait for me to invoice and include express - he paid priority. So I guess MoM won't have a gift this year. Believe me there was nothing great about this piece anyway.
