Hi James, Quite frankly, no, you don't have to do all that shipping stuff. USPS Click n Ship is the greatest thing ever. Maybe you have to locate a box if you don't have one hanging around the house, but you can pack your item, weigh it on your produce scale, go to the website, purchase and print out a mailing label with postage, and all the insurance you could ever want, and call for a free pickup, or drop it in your mailbox.
I rarely make trips to the post office to ship things.
