How to Print a USPS Label from a QR Code
USPS QR codes let you skip printing entirely. When buying a label via Click-N-Ship, select the QR code option. You get a QR code via email or SMS. Bring your phone with the QR code to any post office and a clerk scans it, prints the label, and attaches it to your package — all free.
