The UPS Store is the franchised neighborhood option — they print, mail, ship, and often offer notary services. PrintByPost is the online-only option for printing and mailing documents. They overlap for one core service (print + mail) but serve very different patterns of use.
A single 1-page B&W letter mailed via USPS: PrintByPost is $2.99 all-in. The UPS Store charges ~$0.60–1.00 for the print plus $0.73 USPS First-Class postage, totaling around $1.30–1.75. UPS Store wins on raw cost by ~$1.50 — but you've also driven there. The cost-benefit flips if you value 30 minutes of your time above that gap, or if you need notarization (then UPS Store wins outright).
PrintByPost wins for any document that doesn't need notarization, when you're not near a UPS Store, when you want a consistent national price, or when you're mailing internationally (intl pricing at UPS Stores varies wildly by franchise).
The UPS Store wins decisively when you need a notary signing the same document you're mailing — bundling the two saves a second trip. Also wins if you live close, want to handle multiple errands at once, or specifically need UPS (not USPS) carrier.
