International Shipping

Last year I mailed a pen to New Zealand. The cost was $5 and it arrived in 5 days!

I'll look into it again

Two small correction Smitty, you can specify any printer you have, I also have as you not seen padded flat rate padded envelope but so far using their flat rate evenlope option I've sent 40 to 50 padded flat rate envelopes the last 6 months with no problems.

I would also like to hear more about the paypal shipping !

It has the advantage that the shipping is deducted from your paypal account. It uses the address in the payment form. You can insure but only through USPS unless you have a private contract with an insurer. It does not cover all the bases. At this point you can't select Regional Boxes which for short distances can be even a little less than SFRB and they will hold more stuff. I don't see the padded envelope option. I don't believe I can specify my label printer either so I rarely use it.

Nope - I have a Dymo LabelWriter 4XL and it is not on their list of label printers they support. I can specify my normal paper printer.

I also have a Dymo Labelwriter, not the 4XL But the Dymo Writer /Twin Turbo and print from it all the time from Pay Pal. When the print page pops up it lists all my printers and I can pick which ones I want

When I go into it to set up and it asks for my printer, I get a drop down box and can choose one.

Maybe if I don't set anything up it will go to my system and let me print on the Dymo -- I didn't try that.

EDIT:Just looked again - Paypal supports 2 Dymo LabelWriters - yours must be one of them. It does not support mine.

This wasn't from an email, it was actual experience from a good friend.

I just found it odd because I have had the opposite experience...our Shoppers Drugmart has a postal outlet, and I've had better luck with them than the main post office...

I think it all comes down to who is working the till. I've brought a package in once and they told me it couldn't go via a certain type of mail because of the size (i.e. letter post)...and when I mull it over and come back, the next person does it for me.

Like most things in life, it all comes down to how good the person is on the other side of the counter...
