Experience Review: US Postal Service Self Serve Kiosks (Automated Postal Centers – APC)
Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Kudos to the US Postal Service on their Automated Postal Centers (APC). These self service kiosks have been installed at some office locations. My experiences with the ever growing amount of self service kiosks have often been less than ideal, but this was shinning example of an efficient and simple process. The USPS has done a great job. The interface was simple and clear. The steps were clearly communicated and lacking any of the trappings of complexity that one might associate with a process requiring a similar breadth of options (to insure or not to insure, postage, weight, etc.). The machine has a scale built into it, so you can ship virtually any size package. It accepts either debit or credit cards as payment and will easily guide you through the process of printing stamps for several packages.
