Boggus Deal #64218 Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 Yul, my post office is small, too. Two windows, only one ever open. Even though I hear a crowd in the back playing graba**. That’s one of the reasons I signed up on line to print and pay for my own labels. All I do anymore is drop stuff off.

Yep, weight it, measure the box, print your own labels and tape it on the package. Easy as that....but....you're still dealing with USPS. My gal sells crafts on various sites and uses Pitney Bowes and Pirate Ship (although they may be the same thing, I don't know). The packages are almost always small packages or plastic envelopes. She puts them in the mail box for pick up and they are supposed to scan them in when they take them out of the mail box so that they are then trackable. Do they check them in as they are supposed to? Hell no, 90% of the time they aren't scanned in for days which make her look like she lied to the buyers when she tells them that their purchase is enroute. I use her shipping service when I sell something but I take it to the post office to have them scan it in at the service desk. On the occasions that they are backed up, they have a large, roll around, bin which I put them in and every time it takes at least one day (usually more) for them to scan them in which makes me look like a liar. When I sell something, I don't take electronic fund transfers and am not going to start taking them. It used to take about 5 days to receive a check from someone and about 5 days for my package to reach them...not anymore. The last check I received took 10 days to reach me (no fault of the buyer) and the package took 7 to reach him. Although USPS sucks as a shipping and mail service, I've found UPS and Fed Ex to be much, much worse...so much that I'll never use UPS again if ANYTHING else is available.
Boggus Deal #64218 Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 I’m with you on UPS. Although my two local drivers are great to me, overall UPS can pound sand.

I only ship a package or 2 a month so don’t know if the print my own labels would be worth it. I’ll check it out, thanks.
Jim Brown Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 Use https://ship.pirateship.com/ Cost nothing to setup account. You can enter info and it will give you best price- Lower than you can get. You can also designate USPS Flat rate box - And that is less than at post office.
Texas Maverick Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 USPS is the same all over the world. Here is my package coming from Thailand Sitting in the same place since the 13th. TM

Texas Joker Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 I have an alternator in the KC Abyss that was supposed to be here LAST Friday. I guess it's 'lucky' it didn't get here cause the car blew a head gasket yesterday...
