Schedule a Pickup

When your packages are ready to ship, you can conveniently schedule a pickup in Stamps.com with your preferred carrier. Use the Schedule a Pickup feature to schedule a one-time pickup. Stamps.com sends all the necessary details to the carrier so you do not need to go to a new website to request a scheduled pickup.
