Daily limit on USPS shops? Can a shopper do more than 5 a day?

Oh, I have 7 in a rural route that will basically take all day.

But I have it in my head we're limited to 5 a day.

Is that so?

Thank you.

I'd have to review the rules, but the limit is either four or five in a day.

Hard work builds character and homework is good for your soul.

Thanks. That's what I'm thinking -- 5 a day and/or 20 a week.

Yes, you are correct
5 per day with a max of 20 per week.

Maybe they will override the 5 per day since you aren't going over 20

If you are assigned more than one USPS shop, you are required to take a 30-minute break in between all of your USPS shops for that day. You are allowed to do a maximum of 5 shops a day or 24 shops a week. If these are not adhered to, ALL of your shops for that day will be rejected.

I am not sure but check to see if not all of them are at actual post offices but at approved shippers or otherwise the rules might be different.

Good thought.

I'll just break them up into two days

Only with "approved shippers" is there no daily limit and no 30-minute wait between. I think one of the regular shops has never updated the guidelines from 4 to 5. Don't remember which scenario that I noticed that in.

Are these shops worth the $12 that I see them at? Do they get bonused? How much do you take them for?
Thanks.

Many people seem to do a lot of these and they ship boxes back and forth between themselves and other shoppers so it seems it is worth it to many. I live in a big city where we do not get bonuses often but shops further out (of the city) do get bonused sometimes. I do them because I actually like to mail things so I use them for occasions with gifts mailing and care packages to my son. For me it is worth it. The job is quite easy.

Lightweight care packages can be easily done.

If you don't mind my asking--do you keep the gifts under two pounds or do you contact a scheduler before mailing?

It's a client thing, I was told. Tried to pick up 6 hard-to-fill, end-of-the-month shops, and had to leave an orphan.

You don't have to contact a scheduler for overweight regular shops. You just don't get reimbursed for the extra. I also ship stuff to my son all the time, and often go over. It's just a quick way for me to say I'm thinking about him.
