Vicky_CO Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I print labels from paypal all the time they give you options in the shipping section for every thing from First class on up including the flat rate boxes I do not know if paypal has integrated the regional boxes yet.

jnkthailand Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 They haven't and probably won't integrate the Regional boxes. I think the Post Office is keeping those to themselves. Since they are giving us such dang good discounts for shipping them. I wished they would have came up with those things 2 years ago. But on topic printing labels with Paypal is the best. They do offer the First Class parcel & Parcel Post rates without having to pay Indicia or Stamps.com monthly fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katshe Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks, now for my next questionWhen you pick shipping options to set up shipping in paypal , what does the customer see and how do you do all those figures or do you keep it simple and use one standard shipping price for them?for the moment... till I figure all this out, I have one standard rate and an option for store pick up for local customers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katshe Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 I have had a chance to talk to a soap and candle estore owner that has been doing business for 6 years and he uses one flat rate for all orders and says he went thru alot to get to this point and this is what works best for him.Thanks all for your help.

ebcandles Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Just try to pick one rate and stick with it. I have a supplier who would charge a flat rate of $5.00 then all of a sudden this year they increased to $10.00 If you are going to increase, do it gradually.
