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. Since shampoo is flammable and a liquid I'm not sure because they always start by asking if there is anything flammable and a liquid so it's best you talk to a post office teller. I think it's for the safety of the airplane and the pilot.

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.

The KIOSK SCAN IS USELESS! it is NOT PROOF THAT YOU DROPPED IT OFF! 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.

Canada Post is testing something like this at _some_ locations. I think that is pretty cool to do your own packaging and printing of parcel labels. No standing in line. No having to deal with some Bitch behind the front counter.

You have to print your own ebay postage labels at home and attach the address slip and just put it on the counter where it says drop off or inside the drop off boxes.

Do I need a stamp for my medium flat rate ?

@Jay_Rule

The postal stamp to cover the shipping must be attached to any outgoing mail to cover for the shipping rate. The address label must also be attached.

@@Jay_Rule ahhh makes sense. Basically, 1. go to post Office, Grab box 2. Pack at home & return 3. Scan and drop off? I have social anxiety, I don’t go out much so it’s important that I know how to function outside on my own (thank you for the video, it really helped)

Then, what happens to the package after that?

You drop it in the chute like I showed and USPS will put it in a cargo airplane in order to deliver it by air to the destination USPS and then the trucks will deliver it by drivers

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......

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.

Just curious, but how come the return address doesn’t appear on the label printed out, and is it possible to write it on the label?

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.
