Where to buy postage stamps

I was wondering if you have any idea where I can purchase postage stamps besides the post office? The line is often very long and there are never any stamps in the machine in the lobby.

Assuming that you are wishing to purchase stamps for mailing purposes rather than collecting, there are other options. According to the USPS, most local pharmacies, as well as some grocery stores, sell books of stamps. Office supply stores often carry books of stamps, as well. If you are looking for a particular type of stamp, the best bet is still the Post Office. Also be aware that most outlets other than the USPS will require that you purchase stamps by the book. A list of alternate purchasing locations can be found on the USPS web site.
