Does anyone know if there's a way to print address labels with Post Sale Mgmt? I see that there's a way to print addresses only but I have no idea what type of labels to get to correspond with the AW's format. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I use the USPS Web site labels. It's easy, DC is free on Priority Mail packages and 13 cents for 1st class packages. For 1st class you have to cut the priority part off the label then affix to your package. Saves money and that's the name of the game.

Hey, thanks Libra! I always thought I had to have stick-on labels already in my printer in order to use this service. This is 'way cool. Adele

Download the USPS Shipping Assistant @ http://www.uspswebtools.com/ShippingAssistant/sa_DownloadApplication.htm
Install it to print your USPS labels w/prepaid postage.
You can print 1st Class labels with DC on plain paper then paste/tape to your package.
Also allows you to print Priority mail & others. Has an address book for repeat customers.
And it is free to download

Yes I use glue stick to hold it on but I do put tape around it so it stays permanently. Remember don't cover the bar code with your tape as I understand they can't scan it. I will take their word for it though. It says you need a lazer printer but I just have a regular printer and it works just fine. Glad I could save you guys money.....

Actually, Shipping Assistant does not print postage. They did create a beta version of SA with an Endicia back end to print postage, but we didn't reach an agreement with USPS to release that version.
You can print a label with postage on the USPS Web site. It's a relatively slow process, but it's free!

The digital indicia for this Web printing resource is provided by Endicia to the USPS under contract.

Just make sure they spell everything correctly.
I have a bunch of labels with my domain name wrong.

Use ENDICIA.COM...I don't know what I'd do without it!
Especially nice is the STEALTH MODE!
The very small & extremely reasonable 9 buck/mo fee is a true (few) internet BARGAIN
Me be a real for this wonderful service!

This is always so surprising to me... I have been using AW for 3+ years, I print the entire label/invoice, use my paper cutter to cut to size and then affix with tape. Why go to the expense of adhesive labels? Or buy another label service when you're already paying AW?

I agree with tomwiii on this one. I used to use the free services, but found Endicia is worth the fee with the STEALTH MODE and it's so quick and easy. I often get comments regarding how professional everything looks with the labels (my company logo and customized fonts) I made using their software.
Also, Libra63 is right about the printers. Inkjet will work, I used one for labels and postage until September when I got a deal on a used HP Laserjet. I'll never go back. IT IS that much better. Upgrade when you get the chance if you want better quality, faster printing.
