So, if you’re pressed for time (and who isn’t during the holidays?) and you need some alternatives that make your holiday happier, here are three good ones from the U. S. Postal Service:

CONTRACT POSTAL UNITS-We have them everywhere in South Carolina, with 52 in the 290-6 ZIP Code Area. Below is a listing of several here in the Midlands. They are perfect for holiday mailing, because they provide a complete line of products and services, (everything except money orders and P.O. boxes) including packaging supplies and stamps for your Christmas Cards. Chances are, there’s one near you!

AUTOMATED POSTAL CENTERS-Talk about quick, these handy, credit card-operated futuristic vending machines provide 80% of the products and services of a Post Office, and are very user-friendly. You can purchase stamps and postage, deposit a package, get insurance and add delivery confirmation all with one swipe of a major credit card. They’re also located in the part of the Post Office lobby that’s accessible 24-7. Here’s where to find them in the Upstate: Easley, Greer, Taylors, Mauldin, Anderson (Main Office) Greenville (Keith D. Oglesby Station) . Find the one nearest your address at the Post Office Locator on usps.com.

CLICK N’ SHIP/USPS.COM-This is the ultimate in shipping convenience! The ultra-secure Postal Service website, usps.com, is the Post Office that never closes. It has more services than a Las Vegas wedding chapel! If you have a major credit card, you can pay for and print out: postage, delivery confirmation and insurance, right from home, and then notify your carrier to pick it up for free the next day. And packaging is also free for the asking with Express or Priority Mail.
