Tip for Dealers Mailing Packages
I had to go to the post office, anyway, so I took my small stamp package for over the counter service, to ship out. That 3 ounce package was $4.25. Back home, checking the shipping price through PayPal - $3.22. I won't make that mistake again.

The rate that Ted got at the PO is the current parcel rate for a parcel up to 4 oz to zone 6. It appears that by going through Paypal they have an agreement with the USPS to get one of the discounted rates.
Thanks

If you use stamps, instead of a meter, you can drop it in a mail box as long as it is less than a certain weight that escapes me now. If it is over that weight, then you have to present it at a postal counter.

Another question... when I go to the PO they enter the address and have me confirm it. Is there a way to link the address to the tracking # with this label?

Thanks for your reply. I get a receipt with the tracking # when I go to the PO and hand the package to the clerk. What I was hoping to do was apply one of the Label 400's and just drop the package in my mail box for my postman to pick up. In that case how does the scanning work?
Bob
I was thinking that was the case and very much appreciate your response. Time for a chat with my mailman.
