[BlindTlk] A Question about Free Matter for the Blind

[Judy Jones]

Hmmmm.  I used Click N Ship a couple of weeks ago, with no problem.

I'm going to try Piratieship.

However, if you would like to try, maybe, write me off-list, and we can make arrangements for a phone call and go through it together.

Of course, I should go back on the site to see if they have made changes that makes Jaws unusable.

Anyway, let me know and thanks.

 I don't even see a table when I click "check availability." I'm using JAWS 18 - that's probably why.
Pirate Ship is totally free, and you get huge discounts. There is a CAPTCHA, but it's accessible - check the "I'm not a robot" check box. Making batches is a pain in the ass though because, if you have two differently sized packages, you have to make a spreadsheet for each one. But I suggested they scrap the spreadsheet feature and replace it with the "create batch" feature USPS has.

 Hi, Jen,

What happens after you click availability is that a table calendar appears, when you hit the link on the date you want to ship, it does look like nothing happens, but the rest of the form should appear below that calendar.  Weird, I know.

Thanks for the pirateship link.  I will have to try it out.

 If you mean Click n Ship, I can't use it because after you click "check availability," nothing happens. Instead, I do it throughhttp://www.pirateship.com and hit "Schedule a pickup." You need one priority mail package, in addition to the free matter package, for the pickup to work. I'm sending this reply to the whole list, in case it helps someone.

 Right, but when you're filling out the online form, you are not given that choice.

Free matter is fourth class mail.  Pam.

I have a question about free matter. I know free matter isn't considered a particular class of mail. If I do a USPS pickup for a free-matter item, what category should it go in?
