[BlindTlk] What is the Easiest Way to Send Mail and work with Envelopes as a Congenitally Blind Person?

[Humberto Avila]

Dear All,


I hope all is well. Happy Sunday.


I am having a bit of a dilemma here.

My parents have moved 222 miles across my state where I live, so it will 
be much more challenging to get to see them in-person. I would like to 
be able to send them small gifts, letters, CDs of my music, ETC for 
appreciation purposes.

What are some effective and efficient ways of managing envelopes and 
package boxes as a blind person? Should I just go into a post office, 
and get some of this process taken care of for me? How do you folks 
hand-write the sender and recipient information for the envelope or 
packaging box? Is there a way to print a standard pre-created label, 
then affix to an envelope? Will USPS even accept that? What about online 
services that can help with that, such as UPS shipping label creation 
tool you can just print out?

My parents neither use or like technology, so doing things like E 
messages / cards / digital stuff is probably not an option in case you 
were wanting to have the urge to recommend that.

Any life hacks and tricks concerning this matter are appreciated fully!


Best,


Humberto
