i pay as many bills as i can online. i get very little mail because of this. when i have to send a package, i go online and print out the shipping label and pay the postage with a credit card. my postman takes the package with him when he delivers the other mail. so convenient. not only is the postage getting expensive, but the gas to drive to the post office is also getting more expensive. in our area, postage stamps are sold at many places, the grocery store and walmart, for example.
