Start now — create a label

Step-by-step guide

  1. 1

    Enter your shipment details

    Go to the CryptoPostage label tool. Enter your package weight (in ounces), dimensions, and the sender and recipient addresses. All four major carriers — USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL — will be available in the rate comparison.

  2. 2

    Select a USPS service

    Live rates are fetched directly from USPS APIs. You'll see options like First-Class Package, Priority Mail, Ground Advantage, and Priority Mail Express with the current price for your exact package. Choose the service that fits your timeline.

  3. 3

    Choose Bitcoin at checkout

    Select BTC as your payment method. A unique Bitcoin address and invoice amount are generated for your order. The exchange rate is locked at the time of invoice creation for the duration of the payment window (typically 60 minutes).

  4. 4

    Send the Bitcoin payment

    Send the exact BTC amount from any Bitcoin wallet — hardware wallet, software wallet, or exchange withdrawal. The system monitors the blockchain for your transaction automatically. Standard transactions confirm in 10–20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Download your USPS label

    After one on-chain confirmation, your USPS label is purchased from the carrier and made available as a PDF download. Print on any printer. Standard 4×6 thermal labels or US Letter paper both work.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy a USPS label with Bitcoin without an account?+

Yes. No account, email, or personal identification is required. You provide only the shipping addresses (required by USPS to generate any label) and pay with BTC.

What if my Bitcoin payment doesn't confirm in time?+

Invoices expire after the payment window (typically 60 minutes). If your transaction is pending but unconfirmed, it will usually confirm once it does and complete your order. If the invoice fully expires, you can create a new order.

Can I use Bitcoin Lightning to buy a USPS label?+

Currently, on-chain Bitcoin is supported. Lightning Network support is on the roadmap. For fastest payment, use a fee sufficient for 1-block confirmation.

Is there a minimum or maximum USPS label value?+

No minimum. The maximum order value is set by the platform limits. Single domestic labels rarely exceed the limit.

Can I buy USPS labels with Monero instead of Bitcoin?+

Yes. Monero (XMR) is supported alongside Bitcoin for all carriers. Visit the Monero shipping labels page for details.
