After trying Shyp, I'm convinced the app is the future of shipping

I'm a firm believer that no one should have to endure the nightmare that is interacting with the United States Postal Service.In New York City, a trip to the local post office can mean long waits, unpleasant interactions with other people, and luggingwhatever you're trying to mail through the subway and streets.So when I heard about an app called Shyp, I had to give it a try.For a flat fee of $5 plus normal shipping costs, Shyp will send a courier to your front door, pick up whatever you want to mail, package it, and send it on its way for you.After trying Shyp, I'm convinced it's the future of shipping. And I plan on never settingfoot in the post office again.Shyp currently operates in New York City, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco. My apartment in deep Brooklyn was too far out for its couriers to do a pickup, so I waited to request one from my office in Manhattan.Anyone can receive mail you send with Shyp, but its courier service is only available in the aforementioned cities. Shyp operates its own packaging facilities in those areas.You can choose to send a new shipment or an online order return through the app. I had to send back a suit jacket that was too small, so I selected the return option.Shyp integrates directly with a bunch of online retailers, likeAmazon, Banana Republic, Bloomingdales, and more, to help automate the return process.Since most retailers give you a prepaid label for returns, the app confirms you have it printed and ready to give to your courier.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
