I have an account with USPS and it gives me about .50 - .80 off of the flat rate boxes. I am at the online checkout and it is going to send me to paypal. I have an option to send a shipping label with paypal...do I click on this? Will it still go through my USPS? Confused.
Hi Cindy - You can print your label through Paypal shipping. You will pay the same USPS rate you would pay if you print a label online through the USPS website. I've done this hundreds of times.
If you are asking about the checkout on the USPS site, though, it just sends you to PayPal to checkout... just like anytime you purchase anything through PayPal, you get temporarily redirected to the PayPal site.
Thank you Jennifer. You are right, it directed me to the paypal, I paid, and then back to usps. :) I am going to ship it tomorrow, is that when I go through the etsy sold items and click on the shipped button?
You will save money going through Paypal. A 2oz package costs $1.90 directly through the usps, and through Paypal, it's $1.64. Delivery confirmation is free on First Class now.
My biggest problem with shipping is that log candle holders are heavy and bulky. They are usually a two - four pound each. I have been using the flat rate boxes as they don't go by weight. I always feel bad for charging people $11.00 in shipping, but that is about the cheapest I have found.
