I just ordered some free Address labels and some tracking numbers as well! This will definitely help anyone who does not have a printer but has their own business.
Please down for those who are not as computer savvy. If we are following step by step, you’re going just a little to fast. However, after rewinding a few times to grasp what was done. I found it very helpful, thx.
if I don't make it straight to the point people get annoyed by loooong drawn out slow videos. When you watch a step by step video pause it do the step then come back to play it again thats what I do when I am watching how to videos I hope that helps.
I'm not sure if you know, but when loading the labels they may need to go face up, it depends on the type of printer. Other than that very helpful video!
You could have spent more time on the printed label so your viewers could see the end result. I understand you did not want to show personal info but you blocked it out before so you could have blocked it on the new label as well. Had to rewind and stop the video to get a good view .
Hey unfortunately no you can't use priority labels for first class. You would have to buy plain printer labels or just use plain printer paper and tape your labels to the bag. Same goes with the boxes you can't use a priority box for first class shipping.
how does this even work? wouldnt you be printing over the priority mail part make it look weird? also i thought you could only use them for priority mail express
All the free packaging I get from the USPS is priority flat rate I don't ship anything priority express. I am just showing an option to print labels for free using the materials the post office allows us to order. If you follow the size fonts I plug into my settings I don't think it looks weird check out the end of the video to the printed version. This is a great option if you don't want to spend a ton of money on a fancy thermal printer for your labels .
Poshmark is where you sell ur items on . ...and they send you a prepaid label once your items get sold. in the video you can use the usps website to get Free shipping labels to your house, to use to print off with the poshmark label to stick on your package so you don't have to use packing tape lol
If you dont mind, can you suggest what kind of printer I can buy for the label printing. I see you have Epson, Appreciate if you can let me know. I was looking to buy brother printer but I am not sure which model.
the printer I used for this video is a epson xp 7100 I just got this printer I had a brother for years. If you wanted a thermal printer for labels I still use my dymo but just got a new thermal printer by brother when I set it up I will probably do a video on that wanted a thermal printer I could print from my phone :)
I recently sold something but I don’t have access to a printer for the shipping labels! Buyer paid for shipping so I’d have no problem paying in the post office for postage. Can they personally print a shipping label there if I buy it?
@@emiiiii4084 you can take the item directly to the post office and pay for the label there and they will print it for you. The labels come with tracking and you can then input the tracking numbers into PayPal that you shipped it.
Christine Bishop I read comments, regarding that, and how usps did not print labels, but this info made me feel much better! So I’ll be paying for the label plus postage? Correct
Please help! I want to hand over the flat rate priority mail envelope with prepaid label to my friend, So she can send my documents by just dropping it at any USPS Mail box.
seems to average a week but really depends on where you are and if you post office has it in stock. Also keep in mind the post office has been experiencing huge delays because of Rona so if you seem to be waiting awhile It might be good to call or even go to your local post office and ask if you can have some to hold you over until yours are delivered.
Ok so I've been doing this but since the top portion of the label is running into the words and graphics on the label which most ppl don't seem to mind and it works fine. But there's been one employee at the USPS office that first told my bf, when he took my package once and then today I got that same employee and he told me the same thing but still accepted the packages, again so I'm not sure if it's really an issue. Have you ran into this at all?
I find some USPS works to make big deal out of nothing and are just a pain about everything. As long as they can scan the barcode for tracking and words are not covering that strip there shouldn't be any issues... I'd talk to the post master at your post office and see why they are giving you an issue. Some USPS employees will still try telling you we cant us priority flat rate boxes as well.
@@ChristineBishop thank you so much for that advice! I was thinking the same thing, why is he accepting it if it's not okay?? While everyone else just takes my packages and gives me the receipt and that's all. I'll definitely be asking questions if he tries to say anything again. Thanks again!
these labels are not thermal labels if you wanted to use a printer like the dymo with thermal labels you can do so but those labels you will have to purchase I have a few videos about the Dymo printer if you wanted to check that out :) I made this video to help people who are just getting started and want a free option for printing labels.
Hey! Thank you for this video! So, I just tried the exact steps but my printer didn’t have the more settings option. I have a new Canon printer and have been trying to figure this out. Lol. I see that you load the label into the paper tray. My label won’t fit in there and so it didn’t print out correctly. So close but not successful yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 😁
Yes I am active on UA-cam just haven't ben able to upload any new videos homeschooling 3 kids now bc of covid so my business is on the backburner sadly. On your actual printer can you change the settings that way go to printer settings and adjust the sizes that way?
looks like there is a rear tray have you tried using that so it helps with misprinting ? ij.manual.canon/ij/webmanual/Manual/All/TS6300%20series/EN/UG/ug-042.html
Can I fill this label out myself and then apply the appropriate $ postage amount to the shipment with stamps? Or do I absolutely need a prepaid shipping 'label' to print on to it?
If you are shipping on poshmark they send you a prepaid shipping label so you just print it on the label. If you are just sending a personal package and shipping priority you can just write the address on the label then go to the post office and pay for the shipping there I wouldn't use stamps because they will print out trackint. A worker at the post office should be able to help you.
these labels are free at the post office and you print your poshmark shipping labels on them if you don't want to purchase printer paper or those sticky labels. This video is for a regular ink printer. If you are referring to a thermal printer please check out one of my other videos I use the dymo. I hope that makes sense.
Hi there, I just have one question. When I go to set-up my account should I choose the business account option or personal account? Does it matter which one I choose in order to get the labels?
on Poshmark the buyer pays the shipping and poshmark sends you a prepaid shipping label. if you order your shipping supplies on USPS.com and print your labels using this video then all your paying for is the ink.
Not sure things might have changed in the past year but just create an account and then you can order your shipping supplies here is the link to the labels store.usps.com/store/product/shipping-supplies/priority-mail-address-label-label-228-P_LABEL_228
If you are shipping out Priority Packages you can use it for shopify but if you are shipping first class packages you can't use a priority shipping label.
@@jimklemens5018 I'm not shipping through Ups so if I got the free ups sheets that would be pilfering. Poshmark doesnt use ups. As long as the usps can scan the barcode for tracking that is all that matters. I am just giving tips to sellers. Using an expensive professional label printer looks the best but if your a casual selling this works just fine.
You can order free usps shipping supplies on USPS.com for your ebay business. You could print the labels for your packages the same way but make sure its for your Priority packages only. For flat rate you wouldn't be aloud to use the priority labels.
For poshmark you only ship priority so you don't need first class shipping labels. But if its for another platform you will need to buy labels and packaging supplies usps only gives out free priority packaging supplies.
hi! i want to ship to someone it’s from me, i wanna give them something special, can i do it without the printing sticker, or is there another way to do it
Hey you can print your label using regular paper then tape it to your package. If you need to weigh and pay for the label and you dont have already done for your package you can also take it to the post office and they can help you right there.
@@dianazavala2588 hey if this is just for a gift package I recommend taking the post office and pay for the label there they will print it out for you and ship it. If you are selling something on Poshmark after it sells Poshmark sends you a prepaid shipping label to your email.
for your shipping supplies on usps.com you shouldn't have to pay anything during check out and if you sell something on poshmark they send you a prepaid shipping label to your email that you print off.
Etsy will send you an email with the customers shipping information or you can purchase the shipping label through etsy. You can go to the clip board icon on your dashboard that says shipping/orders and click the truck icon.
Poshmark they are prepaid shipping labels they send you after an item sells. You will have to print them out because they will have the tracking numbers on them.

Can I put these labels on Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes and envelopes?
Yes the priority labels can be put on any priority usps packages.
Can you order to foreign countries such as the UK and how do I input my UK number into the registration?
Hey this is for the United States Post Office so if you are in the UK you wouldn't be able to order free packaging supplies from US.

So if your shipping something to someone do you write their address on the label?
Arianna Valis yes and if you own a business don’t forget your business name!
Yup
Will this work for Shopify too?
If you are shipping out Priority Packages you can use it for shopify but if you are shipping first class packages you can't use a priority shipping label.
Will these print just using usps site alone without going to poshmark?
Poshmark sends you a prepaid label if your selling on a different platform and using priority shipping of course can print it on the labels
That shipping label you printed is a mess. The postage at the top is obscured by the printing on the label.

How do you make the label on poshmark

wait so if i print the shipping label on that, they will still ship it?
Yes 👍 if its a priority package you can ship it on the sticker labels the post office provides for free.
I thought posh provides the shipping label to print so why is this needed?
they do but if you dont want to pay for paper or for labels you can get the labels to print on at the post office for free :)

if you sell on poshmark you will need to get a cheap printer or find someone with a printer to print your prepaid shipping labels.
If you are smart you will save yourself a lot of trouble and deal with the US Postal Service and NEVER USE STAMPS.COM AGAIN.

for your shipping supplies on usps.com you shouldn't have to pay anything during check out and if you sell something on poshmark they send you a prepaid shipping label to your email that you print off.
