Most courier companies will do regular daily or scheduled pickups from business accounts.
Comment on UPS has started charging for pickups even if you have a prepaid label

Th US is the only country I know of that does mail pickup.

If there’s enough volume, sure. But they’ll charge you if it’s a one-off type thing.

In Germany you can give you mailman letters and small parcels, since DHL is owned by the geman mail

Like pickup requests? Can you not mail a letter by leaving it sticking out if your mailbox?

UPS, not USPS.

Just for the record UPS is not mail- that’s USPS- they’re a parcel and freight delivery service. UPS doesn’t go to every address every day (‘Cept Sundays,) the same way the mailman does.
For residential… yeah, UPS definitely going to be charging since that’s a random and probably out-of-the-way stop. USPS will take postage-paid parcels/letters at the mailbox since they’re there.

US Postal Service has some sort of deal with Amazon now, I have gotten Amazon packages delivered by my regular mailman on Sundays. I hope he’s getting paid well for that.

They’ve been doing this for awhile now, and I’m certain they personally receive nothing extra for it.

They didn’t used to. 🤷♂️

Ups used to not do pickups at residential places ever. If you wanted to ship something you’d have to take it to their service center.
The only people that get regular pickups were places that had enough volume going out to justify swinging by on a schedule.

I did know that, but they have very confusing acronyms
