You can even buy and print postage online.........

Our little post office LOVES it if you use the carrier for things like that.
Apparently, these tiny little towns are always at risk of losing the post
office. If we buy stamps, or send packages through the carrier, it must
count for something as they said "no, don't go into DSM and mail that,
just leave it in the box with a note. So we do, and usually clip a couple
bucks to it, or whatever. They carry change..........
I also keep a couple of flat-rate boxes on hand.
