How does everyone buy their postage?

[brotherkyle]

Do you buy shipping labels and print off the internet or go to the post office and pay?

If you buy shipping labels, where do you get them from?

Print off on Dymo 400 on the 99019 labels

standing in line at the post office is for suckers.

How much does it cost to ship to Australia?

I'd figure I'd jump in, maybe someone knows!

I found it's easiest to just use the automated machines at the post office. If you know the media mail rates you can just print out your own stamps for $2.77, $3.16 etc.

You can get a scale pretty cheap pretty much anywhere

this is the reason i dont print paypal labels, id love to do it but the thing is i have no idea how much it weighs, and i only sell records every few weeks when im low on cash, and usually not up to pay for a scale.

[Dillhole]

I bring it to the FedEx Express station, I use my employee discount and ship either Express or Ground.

USPS, I go to the 24 hour service counter if its nothing important, or go wait in line like everyone else for something that needs delivery confirmation or some other specialty service. Luckily we got a small local Post Office which is rarely that active.

this. plus, you get delivery confirmation for .19 with every label or free if youre shipping priority.

if you dont want/cant afford a scale, you can almost always estimate it as long as youre estimating over. when youre shipping media mail, you can pad it by a couple of ounces and it really wont affect the price you pay for the postage.

still, if youre a collector and you plan on trading and/or selling for a long time - a $15 scale is a worthwhile investment for more reason than one.

[donlombardo]

Funny thing, in Sweden you can't buy stamps at the post office anymore. Only at grocery stores and stuff like that.

[serum7]

I don't have a scale, but if I can save a couple of bucks and I'm shipping a few things I'll take it to the automated postal machine, get the weight, go home and buy it online and have them pick them up.

yeah, that makes total sense to the guy who sells a record or two every couple of months. go out and spend money on a scale to ship things, when you can just stop by the post office after work.
