How to schedule a USPS pickup from your door
Once you have a USPS label, ask your AI assistant to book a pickup. No Errands shows the available pickup windows, and after you approve the window and the address, a carrier pickup is booked at your door. USPS pickups are free.
How to do it with No Errands
- Connect No Errands once. Add No Errands to Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client with the address
https://api.noerrands.com/mcpand sign in with your email. The steps for each assistant are below. You do this once for every errand. - Add credits if you need them. A new account starts at $0.00. Ask your assistant to add credits and it gives you a checkout link. You pay in your own browser, never in the chat.
- Give it the addresses and the weight. Tell the assistant where the package goes from and to, and what it weighs. Add the box size if you know it.
- Compare the rates for free. The assistant gets real rates from USPS, UPS, FedEx and other carriers and shows you the carrier, the service, the delivery days and the price.
- Approve one. It buys only the rate you picked, and only after your yes.
- Get the label. You get a PDF label to print, or for USPS a QR code you show at the counter so they print it for you.
What to type
Once No Errands is connected, you can ask like this:
Schedule a USPS pickup tomorrow for the package I just bought a label for, from my front porch at 2 Oak Ave, Denver CO 80202.
The assistant checks first, shows you what it is about to do and the price, and waits for your yes.

Questions people ask
Does a pickup cost anything?
USPS pickups are free. If another carrier charges for a pickup, the assistant shows you the price before booking it.
Can I cancel a pickup?
Yes. Ask the assistant to cancel it. A paid pickup is refunded in full.
Is it cheaper than the post office counter?
Not always. Small packages can cost up to about a third more than the counter price; heavier ones come close to it and some cost less. You are paying to skip the trip and the line. The assistant shows you the price before it buys.
What if I do not use the label?
Ask the assistant to void it before it is scanned. A void is a refund request: the credits come back when the carrier confirms, which takes about 15 days or more for USPS.
How do I pay?
With prepaid credits. You can buy $2.49 for a single letter, or $10.00 for $12.50 of credit (one free letter), $25.00 for $32.50 of credit (three free letters) and $50.00 for $67.50 of credit (seven free letters); every pack credits more than it costs, and credits never expire. Your assistant gives you a checkout link and you pay in your own browser.
