Hi when you're printing out your label from paypal, are you really required to put your phone number on the label as well as your return address?? It wouldnt let me continue without entering my phone number? Is this customs related and is there a way around this, going to the post office in person Ive never had to write my phone number down for USA letters/parcels.

Also if you print out a shipping label from paypal that has tracking on it, can you put it in any street mailbox or do you have to go down to post office in person? Im hearing different answers on this topic.

Thanks

Yes to all of those questions.

No, no way to get around it.

I agree that the phone number is needed. Apparently it is required by customs.

As long as a package fits into the mailbox, you can mail it from there. If I am mailing an expensive item with tracking, I often do go to the post office so that I can see them scan it and know for sure that it is in the system. With that being said,most Canada Post packages with a UPC code do get scanned somewhere along the line although I suppose it's possible for one to get missed.
