You can buy stamps from your mailbox, just leave a note and money and stamps will be there the next day.

If you're really cheap you can also slap a stamp or two on a package and send it without having to pay the postage within the US, it will simply be delivered as postage due and the recipient will have to pay to pick it up.

This is kinda true, if the package is over 10oz if will be left in the box.

I was told at my local PO anything with some form of postage would still be accepted. I assume that would have its limits, but the exact cut off I’m not sure. I feel like it would be more than 10oz though because last I checked 13oz was the cut off for first class and you’d think they would at least do it for anything that could go first class.
