Do not publish addresses, tracking or confirmation numbers. International, military/diplomatic, stamps-only, Express and recurring/commercial pickups are outside this guide; resolve uncertain contents/postage first.\n\n1. **Choose the collection mode.** Free pickup follows the delivery route; paid Pickup on Demand offers a two-hour window.\n2. **Check physical readiness.** Apply sufficient postage. The FAQ ceiling is 70 pounds and 130 inches combined length and girth per parcel. That general ceiling does not replace service limits: Priority Mail maximum is 108 inches; Ground Advantage maximum is 130, with oversized pricing above 108. Verify service-specific postage and dimensions. Multistory buildings require a secured ground-level location; hazards can prevent collection.\n3. **Prepare the eventual application route.** The public scheduling application checks address eligibility and asks for package location, pickup day/mode, count and total weight. Select a secure, carrier-accessible location. Preserve cart items before proceeding: the application warns scheduling removes them. Its extracted available/unavailable messages and sample details establish neither your eligibility nor a real outage. Exactly 70 pounds needs clarification: its weight validation says less than 70, while the FAQ permits the ceiling. If the actual address or package is ineligible, stop this route and obtain an appropriate USPS mailing alternative; do not substitute a sample address or false package category.\n4. **Resolve timing uncertainty.** FAQ scheduling/changes use 2 AM Central; a later changes note uses 2 AM local. Ask USPS about time-sensitive changes; infer no personal cutoff. Do not infer a same-day deadline or guarantee a requested date from this guide.\n5. **After the chosen pickup day, distinguish the evidence.** Collection confirmation differs from request confirmation. Noncollection notices explain failure; missing collection confirmation goes to the local Post Office. Keep the request, collection evidence and any failure reason separately. Collection does not establish delivery to the recipient.\n\nSources read 2026-10-05T17:14:00Z: [USPS pickup FAQ](https://faq.usps.com/articles/FAQ/What-is-Package-Pickup), eligibility, postage, location, confirmation and modification sections; [USPS scheduling application](https://tools.usps.com/schedule-pickup-steps.htm), public instructions and conditional states.
