      @@ivault3 When a package is so large that you cannot read the display. If you can't read the display, you press the hold button. You then take your package off of the scale, and read the display's weight.
      On a scale that doesn't have the hold function, you would then need to weigh each individual item, then add up the amounts weight, to determine the shipping weight.. including the shipping box and dunnage.

    Another small tip regarding the End of Day scan form. For those that may not be aware, you can print this form on a 4x6 and the barcode will still scan as it would a full sheet. Even though my carrier does not use the scan form (they are rural carriers and get more credit for individually scanning) my in the office USPS folks love it.

    • @ethrift7932
      @ethrift7932 4 роки тому +10

      Carlos Cano they’re factors into play and can depend on the size of the box and it’s location! Remember it’s cubic shipping! For a 1lb item I wouldn’t use cubic shipping, I’ll use a flat rate envelope or padded flat rate; if it fits. In your case I’ll use Mercari bc at $4.99 for a pound its a great deal, that’s a first class rate 👌🏽I don’t sell on Mercari but I’m sure that’s a special price for them. My item was so compact and small is why I’m guessing I got the rate I got!

      thecollegepicker , to be honest I just didn’t look at the labels after I printed them. I thought that all I had to do was print all and the labels would come up with each buyers information and it didn’t. So by me not checking twice, I got myself in a pickle. I’m not a height volume seller either. I wouldn’t trust trying to spool all your sales in one group. That’s the only fall back I can see. Pirate ship is my go to shipping site. I don’t even bother with USPS or eBay labels anymore. I do use my Paypal business debit card as my payment form and I get 1% cash back on shipping 😉

    Can regular joe ship international cheaper than just going to usps? I used to use the old 2976-A form (green label) and packages under 4lbs only cost $24 to ship from California (LA) to Bangkok. These days we have to use a different form and it cost $70 to ship the same package same location same destination. The USPS needs to be held accountable in some way, worst case, abolished. The postal system is way broken and almost unnecessary. With USPS dissolved, UPS and FedEx can offer cheaper shipping.

    Please help...I have watched multiple videos from Brother & you. BTW, thank you for sharing your expertise! I am not a tech-y by nature; however, I'm not an idiot either. I purchased the QL-1100 and it will currently not print from Adobe. Every time I attempt to print from Adobe, I receive an error message that the label tape does not match the specified size. (I did select a custom size of 4.07x6.4 as I'm using the labels provided with the machine.) Additionally, I reset the printer according to your instructions. Final piece of info, it prints your sample label perfectly from Safari.
    So...2 questions: How do I avoid the print error when printing from Adobe? And how do I access the print icon from Pirate Ship like in your video?
    Thank you in advance!!

    I use Shippo because it supports all the carriers, not just USPS and the rates are the same or cheaper than pirate ship because it supports the same cubic shipping rates for USPS. It has most the same integrations as pirate ship too but the trade off is it costs 5 cents per label. Worth it in my opinion.

    Before the USPS went to the DIM rate last June, Pirateship was the bomb for me! After that Pirateship is rarely cheaper. I believe it is because they implemented ZONES and since I live in the middle of the country my pricing is different than someone more towards a coastal area. Example, before the DIM rate went into effect, you and I were charged the same rate for a 3lb. box to California. Now with the DIM weight - ZONES, your cost is higher than mine for the same box because you are further so Pirateship helps you out. I shipped some shoes to California yesterday, 3lb and 9 oz. Pirateship was a $1.04 more:) Every once in a while though I get to pull off the box in and tricks and save some money:)

      That’s generally used when you are shipping something internationally. You will most likely be asked to sign that form to inform customs a.k.a shipping security guards that check every package in the system for illegal products.... you explain what product your shipping and every type of product has a hs code , you will need a hs code to also describe what type of product you are shipping. They ask for the value of the product, what country it’s being shipped from, the quantity of product.
