Hey everyone,

I have some big news! We're working on Canada Post shipping labels for you, so our shipping labels team has asked me to invite you to the prototype team so you can try it out for yourself. So huge!

I know many of you have been waiting for this for some time, so here's your chance to be the first to try it. First, read this forums thread: https://www.etsy.com/teams/7716/announcements/discuss/13383971/

Then, apply to this team: https://www.etsy.com/teams/19439/canada-post-shipping-labels-prototype

I've joined it and already have used it and I love it!
A welcome addition :-)

I've joined, but haven't been able to use it yet since much of my stock can go as a "letter" rather than a parcel. The rates for the 8 1/2 x 11 letter size seem to start at $7.80 - rather than the $3.80 I pay at the post office.

I think it's a fabulous idea though and hope I get some bigger orders to check it out!

I'm in the same boat, Christine. Almost everything I sell is sent as letter mail. But I think it's a good boat to be in as far as being able to offer reasonable rates to customers goes. Although it would be nice to get a discount on letter mail too. :)

Was able to use more labels during the holiday season. Soooo happy to walk by the giant line ups at the post office and drop off my pre labelled and stamped packages. Easy!

HELP! This works beautifully for North American orders, but I have a DC order going to England. Before DC, he would have paid through PayPal and I pay for the shipping through PayPal.

A while ago (before my hard drive crashed & was replaced), someone gave me a link for doing a PayPal postage label for an Etsy order. It worked fine. I can't find it anywhere on PayPal now. Can you or anyone provide the link that I lost when the computer crashed?

I just found it on a forum! If anybody else needs this, here's the link: https://www.paypal.com/shipnow

I use a postage metre and ship most things letter mail but boy-o-boy has this been great this week. Panicked customers ask me if I can rush ship, I tell them the price and they decide. It's wonderful!

I'm not printing any labels - did it once, asked at the post office if it is OK, they told me yes, but they'll lose their job, when everybody printing labels online.

I like the convenience, but it costs more than PayPal. Also, I wish the postage for DC orders would be deducted from the sale rather than included in the monthly Etsy invoice.
