It wasn’t very long ago that the only way to send a package or mail a letter was to go to the Post Office, have the clerks weigh and package and charge you for the appropriate amount. They would either apply stamps or specially printed marks and send the package. However it is now very commonplace for you to print your postage. Here are some details.
By signing up to a number of different websites, you have the ability to enter information about a package you’d like to send. You can then weigh the item and its measurements. At that point the system can determine the exact amount necessary depending on the type of shipment option you choose.
The postage can be paid for online through a credit or debit card. Once it has been paid, the system allows you to print out a special type from your home printer either directly on to an envelope or a self stick label for application to the package.
All you need to do at that point is either drop the letter off in a mailbox or at an authorized drop off location. This can certainly save a lot of time and trouble versus having to go to the Post Office to get these things done.

Now there are some people who purchase stamps and then decide to estimate the cost in order to avoid having to go. The problem is that you can easily over or underestimate. In this situation, the package may either be returned for insufficient postage or you waste money by applying too much.
If you do it yourself, you can purchase only the exact amount necessary to mail your letter or package. It certainly saves time and saves money in the process.
