To pick up a package from USPS, you can visit the nearest post office or USPS location during their business hours. Make sure to bring a valid photo ID and the tracking number for the package. If you are unable to pick up the package yourself, you can designate someone else to pick it up for you by filling out a PS Form 3801, “Standing Delivery Order (PDF).” This form authorizes someone else to pick up the package on your behalf.
