My Mercari account on my laptop does not show a sale no matter where I look. I cannot fulfill the sale.

    • @fiona6532
      @fiona6532  5 років тому

      Chad Engel No they can be Priority or a box you already have that isn’t branded to the post office.

    • @AshesInsane
      @AshesInsane 5 років тому +4

      I know this is old but just for the record "according to the rules" you can't use any priority shipping boxes for any lightweight first class mail and you can't use priority mail flat rate or regional rate boxes even with mercari's priority mail labels because they're made under commercial plus pricing, which does not include anything other than standard priority mail boxes. You can't use priority mail EXPRESS boxes for anything ever. You may get away with priority labels on flat rate boxes or first classes labels on priority boxes a few times but you're not actually supposed to use them and may end up landing your buyer having to pay postage due in order to get their package. If USPS tries to take the postage due from mercari instead of from the buyer they reserve the right to deduct the cost from your balance or any future sales until they're paid back for you having used the wrong box. I'm no stickler for the rules but I figured I would put this out there so anyone reading it in the future will know what's technically supposed to be done. Ending up owing postage can really cut into, and kill, your profits so I don't play with it myself but to each his own :)

    I work at a service center that ships, and usps can actually be kind of a jerk about having a fedex label on a usps box. A small flat rate rate box needs $7.25 worth of postage, a medium flat rate $13.65 and a large $18.90. I'd be careful using their boxes for sure.

      Yes you can! You can use your own boxes for all the shipping services. However you MUST use your own boxes for USPS First Class shipping and services such as FedEx and UPS. The optional free USPS are to be used with Priority Mail ONLY. You don’t have to use USPS boxes for Priority Mail but you can only for Priority Mail. USPS will not except your packages if you fail to comply or even worse they can fine you for misuse of government provided supples. So please don’t use free USPS boxes for the wrong application like using them with FedEx or UPS and Etc.

      FIONA CRAFTS Another Question, Can I use Priority envelopes for First Class Mail or does it just have to be Priority on the shipping label in order to use them?

      @fiona6532  6 років тому +1

      Carlos Trejo No you have to use your own box for first class packages
