...delivered to you from the PO? Our local PO doesn't keep the bigger boxes, so I wanted to order some, if indeed it's free.

Thanks

I get several hundred boxes each month... they have a lot of different sizes on the website. You should remember to FOLLOW UP with them, because they OFTEN don't get my boxes to me. I sometimes have to order by the pallet!


Go to http://shop.usps.com/ and you should see "shipping supplies". If not, search for box or priority or something of that nature.

Are you printing postage online, too?

No, I don't have a postage scale.

You can use a food scale or small scale around the house. ??

Stamps.com is having a sign-up to when you do, you get a 5lb scale, so much amt in free postage & free service for 30days. IF you want to cancel , you need to do so before the 30days is up or you'll be billed $15.99. IF you cancel within the 30days, you either have to send the scale back or pay $50. You have to be billed one mth in order to keep the scale. LMK if you want to sign up for this, as if I refer you, I can get extra free postage ;) I'll have to have your email addy and go to the site to send you an email from them.

With this, when you get ready to mail something, instead of standing in line at the post office, you can just hand them to the postmaster, if small enough put in your own mailbox for your carrier to pick up or put in the drop off boxes.

Is there a monthly fee for stamps.com?

I've seen postage scales at walmart for $20. I have no idea what features they have, or if they even work. I've just noticed them sitting there. They're in the isle with the shipping supplies. :)

$15.99/mth,,,but think of all the gas $ you'll save by NOT going to the post office & only sticking them in your mailbox or meeting your carrier at the box. Alot of times, it's nothing for me to go to the post office cause I'm going that way. BUT there are days where I need things mailed that I can NOT get out(vehicle problems/dh using it, roads are bad, etc) or I'm not going post office way, so this will be helpful to me.

Ouch! Thanks for the recommendation, anyway, but the post office is not all that far from me and I actually have 3 to choose from (we live in the 'burbs). I could see how it might be an attractive concept during the holidays, though. I also unfortunately, do not sell enoough to make it worth it. Thanks anyway.

There is also a smaller stamps program which I do.
I pay 10 % of my postage-- min is 4.40.

It works wonderfully and Now you can get insurance through stamps. com
