Joyce, ridiculous prices. Just go with the good old post office. You can
print labels and know what to charge from your desktop. They give you
delivered to your home free boxes: Small to ship is like 7 dollars about the
size of a VCR tape, medium to ship is like eleven dollars  8 x 12 and five
inches deep, large to ship is sixteen dollars I think 12 x 12.
Also it doesn't matter how heavy or light the box, it all ships for the same
price, smile.

Anyway that is what I use and they have pretty good customer services. Now
it isn't the easiest site to work with so use practice paper, not shipping
stickers they send you.

Warm hugs, and thank you for shopping butterfly Knitting, USPS proud.

Can someone advise me on how to and  which one to use?

I am trying to figure out how to send packages and print my own postage
labels to save money and be able to know what the price is.  Now I have been
over to Stamps.com and they talk about charging $15.99 per month and they
give you a 5 pound scale.  I have an 11 pound talking scale, but I was
thinking more like occasionally using something like this as I am just
beginning and not sure of the need for this.  They have a free 4 week trial
and give you $5 credit on stamps that need to be used within the 4 week
trial.

Pitney Bowes has a trial deal for 90 days and they have a choice.  If you
want to go with all the carriers and be able to compare prices and use
whichever it is $25 per month.  If you want to go with just one then it is
$15.  Their choices are UPS, USPS,Fedex,and I think 2 others or with the
above you pick just 1 of them.

I need to check the USPS websiteto see if they have it online, but does
anyone use this and I really didn't think they charged a monthly fee.

Help please advise me.

Joyce
