Current Events > Cool lifehack with postage stamps

(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't have to mail shit often. When I run out of stamps going to get them is a hassle. I guess I can shop online but that still annoys me.

I found out you can write a check to POSTMASTER for $11.60 and stick it in your mailbox. Next day a package of stamps appears.

Nice.

This made me curious so I looked it up.

Is there a form you have to fill out first and leave with the check? I'm seeing places mention a form to go along with it. But this is cool, I didn't know this was a thing.

Edit: From your mail carrier. Get your stamps by mail; pay no fee for ordering and get free delivery to your home or office. Ask your mail carrier for a mail-order form. Fill out the form, make a check or money order payable to United States Postal Service, and mail it to the Post Office. Your carrier will deliver your stamps within a few days.

It's from this link: https://about.usps.com/news/state-releases/fl/2009/fl_2009_1217.htm But that was from 2009 so who knows if it's been updated since.

i got a theory for a life hack

If you eat toilet paper after a meal it will wipe your ass when you shit

Nope

I literally just left a check with that info on it

Today a package of stamps appeared in my mailbox

Oh maybe some places make you fill out a form? I just left a check and nothing else.

Well shit, if it worked that's cool. It seemed to be more of a pain in the ass if you have to fill out a form and then mail it to them and wait.

Wouldn't it be easier to just order them online?

Technically doesn't all your food waste wipe your ass when you shit? It just happens to be wiping your ass with shit.

Still probably wouldn't arrive next day without some kind of shipping charge

And writing a check is easy

I'm also not a zoomer so maybe I'm biased

Back in the day, youd just put the envelope in your mailbox with the cost of a stamp in change on top of it
