How to Use Electronic Postage

Electronic postage allows you to bypass trips to the post office.

Using electronic postage allows you to conveniently mail your items from your residence or place of employment. Although you can't print an actual stamp, you can print a label that includes the postage payment. The U.S. Postal Service's Click-N-Ship program provides an easy interface to use electronic postage.

Instructions

1. Navigate to the Click-N-Ship registration page. Once your Click-N-Ship account is established, log in to the service.

2. Type the mailing information, which includes the mailing address and return address.

3. Click "continue."

4. Choose the service you wish to use; for example, priority, express or international mail. Once the delivery option is chosen, click "continue." The order cart page launches.

5. Review the order details. After reviewing the details, click "continue."

6. Type in your credit card information. Once the requested billing fields are completed, click "continue." The printer page launches.

7. Select the printer you wish to use.

8. Retrieve your label from the printer. Either tape the label on your envelope or package, or enclose it within a window envelope.
