Please tell me about PP shipping!

brenorrn · February 2011

I know this seems simple, but I have just been going to the PO to mail. You get a PP payment, click the link for shipping, I see the shipping info, etc,

how do you weigh if you don't have a mail scale to be accurate?

And then you can get DC right there to?

Is it always priority?

Print the label on regular paper or sticker (where do you get your stickers?) Then put in a mailbox, done? Is this process cheaper then going to PO? TIA!!!

i dont weigh - I guess. i know gms weigh between 6 and 8 oz so i just always use 8 for them. if Im doing 2 i just use a priority flat rate envelope. i mail stuuff other than gms but esimate weight as well usiing a gm as my point of reference. i mail first class when possible but over 13 oz must go priority. when you uuse pp shipping dc is only $0.19 vs $0.80 at the PO. and you really get something that is more like tracking vs just straight dc. i print on regular paper and tape to the package. then i leave it next to the mailbox and the mailman takes it.
