Shippinh with USPS

Alright so I am going to ship a few things today. I found out they provide the boxes and little padded envelope things for free so that's neat. I don't think they provide bubble wrap so do I just kind of walk up in USPS with a roll of bubble wrap for the things I am shipping?

USPS sells rolls of bubble wrap.

Oh ya true. Never shipped anything before so another quick question. Do I just give them the address to ship to and they'll make the label there? And I am guessing I can kind of walk in there with a box of what I am shipping since I am shipping to 3 different people and it's 5 different items.

Usually you will walk up to a small station away from the counter, fill out shipment forms, and then bring them the forms and packaged items. USPS does not supply packaging tape, so make sure to bring that (they sell it if you don't have any).

Yes they will print out the label and stick it on the package for you. Canada Post for me was kind enough to give me some free bubble wraps too
