Anyone who is still waiting in line at the post office to ship something seems like they would not be tech savvy enough to use an app like shyp. Almost any online marketplace let's you print a shipping label right off their site. Then you can drop it in a blue box or just swing by the post office, skip the line, and set the ready to go package on the counter.

In the case of UPS or FedEx, there is usually an option for them to come by and pick it up for free or a few dollars. I get enough packages from USPS that I can just leave an outgoing package on my porch with a sign for the carrier to get it.

Shyp just seemed to be a solution looking for a problem.
