I don't think you can do USPS first class shipping at the USPS webdite.

You can do it though ebay & Paypal tho,( The charge is little) but the item may have to be sold on ebay.

Nope, you can do it for any payment sent through paypal. I don't think there is any surcharge! You do need a postage scale though, to calculate postage.

I just use a kitchen scale. It's always close enough. I have one that goes up to 10 lbs. that I got on ebay for maybe 10 bucks.

When I print out through the USPS site, I just use paper and then tape it on.
If you really want labels- I'm sure if you check office depot or staples you'll find what you want at a better price.
If you get the 2 labels per sheet- just cut it in half and put through your printer. The important half will show up- and the other will just not show.

I have a laser printer, and my business partner has an inkjet- and it works in both of our printers. Don't "tell" your printer that you are sending through a half sheet- or it will ask for the other part or give an error message.

There is no reason to print out the other "stuff"- as it is all available on line.

Thumbs up Cheap Shipping Labels

Hello,

I buy my labels from a store on ebay.
they charge $6.75 for 100 sheets (200 labels).
http://stores.ebay.com/ValueMailers
There shipping is reasonable and not inflated.

To make my money go even farther I cut pieces of paper in half and secure it to the label. That way the confirmation bit prints on plain paper and not my other label.

Hope this helps!

Take Care,
Kecia

Hello,

My friend turned me on to the downloadable shipping assistant that is available through the post office at
http://www.usps.com/shippingassistant/
It lets you print labels for items no matter where you sell them. It also saves address in an address book and standardizes all addresses.
If you use it to ship priority then the delivery confirmation number is free.
If you use it to ship via FC or media mail the delivery confirmation is .13 cents. A lot cheaper than the .55 cents the PO charges.
If you don't have a scale you can guessitmate the weight because you will have to bring the package to the PO to get weighed anyway and they will give you an accurate weight there.

Hope this Helps!

Take Care,
Kecia

I wonder if this would apply if you use APC's (the Automated Postal Center or something like that)

Do they (PO that is) scan the DC #'s after they pick it up from the APC? Anybody knows?

on my reciept for the APC it always lists where it's going, how much I paid and the delivery confirmation number - just like it does when I pay at the counter and they scan it at the time of purchase (mine always scans when they're weighing it)

One of the clerks at our PO said DC doesn't confirm it was delivered to the address on the package, just that it was delivered....somewhwere. Don't know for sure, but that is what he said.

yep, it confirms it was delivered to that zip code, but not to a specific residence.
