Postage Printed Online - Does the ship date actually matter?

[aphex]

I have a package that will go out sometime during the next week. I would prefer to save myself time and get the label paid for and printed online (like I always do).

Is there any problems with just printing the label with tomorrow's date on it, and possibly shipping it a week later?

damn

What happens if I print a Click-N-Ship label, but do not use it on the ship date selected?



Your must mail your item on the date that you selected for your Click-N-Ship® label. An electronic record is generated on that date indicating that your mailpiece has been mailed. If you do not mail the item on the date printed on your label, you should print a new label with the correct date.



Your online label can be used only as it has been printed, without any alterations. If you find an error in your label, print a new label with the correct information and request a refund from the Online Postage Refund page. Any mailpiece which has a manually altered online label will be returned.

As you see if you do not ship it on the date printed they will not except it at the post office.

I've messed up a few times printing postage out through Paypal and using the wrong date. I would just drop it in the box at the PO and never had a problem...

USPS will not accept the package if it doesn't have the proper date on it.
