PSA: Save $$ shipping Flat Rate Boxes if you have a printer

[ubermenehune]

You can save a buck or two if you have a PayPal account and a printer. 

    1. Get flat rate boxes from the post office.

    2. Log into your PayPal account.

    3. Go to this link to print your shipping label: www.paypal.com/shiplabel/create/

    4. Go here to request a free USPS package pick-up: tools.usps.com/go/ScheduleAPickupAction!input.action


Shipping costs printing label through PayPal:

SFRB $6.10
MFRB $11.95
LFRB $16.35

Shipping costs if you purchase at the Post Office:

SFRB $6.80
MFRB $13.45
LFRB $18.75

It's a small savings, but can add up quickly if you ship a lot.

Can you print it, if the addressee didnt send you money?

In the past discounted payment was required.
