Absolutely! However USPS only does pickups from 10-2 M-S. You need to be there or leave the package outside.

We will be soon adding support for UPS, Fedex, Ontrac and a bunch of other regional shipping company. Ship through Shyp and we handle everything.

Maybe in SF.. I'm in Denver, and I've had USPS pickups as late as 6:30pm. Downside was always you couldn't be completely sure at what time they would show up.

I've also heard some UPS Stores will pickup, package, and ship packages for you.. but it's up to the store (they're independently owned).. don't know how widespread that is.

I really don't have anything else to add... It's an interesting idea.. How compelling it is depends on the price I would think.
