shipping package through postoffice

[mrb-la]

if i want to send a package do i need a certain type of label for the post office?? If i send something ups i can just print the shipping on a regular piece of paper (8 1/2 by 11).  Can i do the same for the post office or does it need to be printed on a certain kind of label or paper??

I live in the US. I use the USPS for my shipping. I print my label online through paypal with the USPS. The shipping fee amount is deducted from paypal. It is the quickest and easiest way to ship a package. You can drop it off at the post office, also there is an option to have priorty mail that is prepaid online to be picked up at your home. I usually just take my packages with me to work and when the mail is picked up there the postal carrier will take my packages also.

I print my postal labels on regular paper all the time, then use the 2" tape to tape over them when I put them on the package.

Just try to make sure the tape goes on flat without wrinkles, especially over the barcode - it can mess up the scanners.
