USPS Shipping

How do you handle shipping with USPS. Do you take items to the post office to ship? Do you schedule a pick up at your house with USPS? Do you just put your items in the mail box and raise the flag? I personally installed a larger mail box at my current place, and now I just place the items in the mail box and raise the flag. If I am heading into town for something I will usually always drop my items off at the USPS office. Every once in a while my items will not fit in the larger box and I take then to the Post office also. The carriers have told me that if I ever have too many items or just larger items that don't fit, I can just place a note in the box to let them know and they will pick them up. I have never done this though because I have a farm, and never no what I will be working on or where I will be. Times for my carrier pick up varies widely here at this place, as early as 9am- and as late as 4pm. By the way, do you know that you can sign up for delivery notifications from the USPS? They will send you daily images of the mail items being delivered each day along with a list of packages that are coming in. I signed up for this because I had a neighbor with sticky fingers at my old house. So I had to keep track of what was coming in each day. I never mailed anything out from my mail box at that farm because of this. How do you handle USPS?
