    Yes you should match each sticker with the corresponding envelope or package- especially if each requires a different amount of postage. It will tell you the address on the screen

    If you purchase priority pricing it includes tracking. You may also be able to purchase tracking for other mail. It offers most of the same pricing and features you can get at the postal counter

    A street vendor with a vendors lisence, a ruler, tape, paper & a wireless printer might make a living in any airline terminal in the world. Anybody w online postal accounts & a smart phone w adaquate power reserves, tape, & paper, cardboard or boxes & a portable printer can mail out from some airports with the constraint of fitting the mail items thru the small letter size only postage slot (.25" +) on constrictive USPS letter mail boxes in some USA airports. Some airports have full parcel shipping venues with packaging supplies within the airport , but not necessarily accessable 24/7 or to people in a HURRY. If a scale & printer with wireless connection & paper & tape was available at airports many passangers & visitors would not need anything else aside from a ruler depending on the possible restriction of a postage opening of a pickup box. Think about how many scales & printers there r in an Airport....
