US post office stamps?

Question

If you go to the US post office and ask them to print you out a postage stamp worth a certain amount of money, but you don't have the package, yet, will they do it?

Answer 1

No, but, they will sell you any combination of adhesive postage stamps to fulfill your request.

Postage Labels printed at the counter must be applied to the item and mailed .

Some locations have an Automated Postal Center. With these, you can purchase printed postage in an amount you desire. You are still required to use it that same day though.
