USPS®

Ship with Priority Mail Express®, Priority Mail®, or eligible international services and schedule free same-day pickup—no extra trips required. USPS® will collect unlimited packages up to 70 pounds each when your shipment includes at least one qualifying Priority Mail® or international label. Requests are accepted until 2:00 a.m. Central Time for pickup later that day, Monday through Saturday. Simply leave your packages out, and USPS® takes care of the rest—so you can keep fulfillment simple and orders on schedule.

UPS®

UPS pickups require a contact person and may include a per-pickup fee. You’ll see the exact cost upfront in the Schedule Pickup window—no surprises, no hidden charges. The fee is paid directly to UPS, not through Stamps.com, so you can plan your pickup schedule and budget with confidence.

DHL Express®

When shipping internationally with DHL Express, simply add a contact person and schedule your pickup—no extra fees required. Keep cross-border orders on schedule, meet tight delivery windows, and save time by skipping the extra trip to drop off packages.

GlobalPost SmartSaver

If you’re using GlobalPost SmartSaver, qualified shipments can be scheduled directly with your GlobalPost representative. Ask your rep about eligibility and setup to simplify consolidations, speed up exports, and keep international workflows running smoothly.

Let carriers come to you —effortlessly schedule a pickup

Whether you’re sending a batch of parcels or just a single package, you’ll save time, avoid drop-off lines and keep your operations moving smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Certified Mail

Can I schedule pickups from a home address or only a business?

You can schedule from either. Just make sure the pickup location is accurate and accessible, and include any gate codes or entry details in the instructions so drivers can find your packages quickly.

What if my building requires access or a front desk handoff?

Add clear notes for security, reception, or a concierge and choose a location that complies with your building’s policy. If needed, meet the driver in a lobby or loading zone.

How do I handle a missed pickup?

Check your pickup status in your account and reschedule for the next available day. If the shipment is time-sensitive, you can still drop off at an approved location.

Can I set up recurring pickups for regular shipping days?

Yes. Create pickup requests in advance to match your weekly rhythms. You can copy a previous request and adjust dates, times, and instructions.

Is there a pickup window or exact time?

Carriers operate within service windows. Choose your preferred day and add helpful notes, but plan for a window rather than a precise time. Package readiness is key.

Can drivers accept hazardous or restricted items?

No. Follow carrier and postal regulations. If your product has restrictions, use approved services and packaging or choose a compliant alternative.

What if my labels were created in another system?

You can still request a pickup if the carrier and service are eligible. Be sure every package has the correct, scannable label before collection.

Can I change the pickup contact or phone number after submitting?

Yes. Edit your request before the cutoff shown in your account, then save to update the details drivers see.

Are pickups available in rural areas?

Most addresses are supported, but availability can vary by route. If a pickup is not offered for a specific day, select the next available date or use a nearby drop-off.

Should I tip my driver?

Tips are not required. A clearly marked, accessible pickup location and ready-to-scan packages are the best way to keep things running smoothly.
