Members billymac814 Posted February 27, 2013 Members Report Posted February 27, 2013 I too use Paypal. It works well and notifies the customer for me. I bought a scale on amazon that weighs up to 75lbs for about 20 bucks. Quote www.mccabescustomleather.com
Members Snpr9696 Posted March 1, 2013 Members Report Posted March 1, 2013 I use paypal and usps. I was mainly usuing usps for customers who did not pay through paypal be cause I always have a hard time find the shipping label option for customers not in the system. I still need to make trip to the PO for international order though. USPS charges $20 or so which is still cheaper then Fedex or UPS. However by going to the post office that same $20 package costs me $5. wish i had the option to do that through the website. Quote
Members Sylvia Posted March 7, 2013 Members Report Posted March 7, 2013 I recently had an issue with paypal's shipping not connecting with usps and after a several day wait on Monday it still was not working. USPS (online) is worthless unless you want to ship express or priority. A 34lb package at USPS online was $71 priority mail. Pfft... NO thanks. I ended up at Stamps.com and was able to ship it parcel post for $42 with insurance and tracking. Paypal would have been better but I didn't have time to wait while they fix things.

Members veedub3 Posted March 7, 2013 Members Report Posted March 7, 2013 I remember reading somewhere that Paypal was down while they implemented the new USPS fees and shipping methods. I think a change was made to parcel post to Standard select or something similar but the prices were incorrect on Paypal and they went offline for a bit. For a 34lbs package I would have shipped it FedEX ground. I just shipped a 33lbs package ground from GA to CA for $31.97 with FedEX. Takes 4 business days to be delivered and you get insurance and tracking. Quote "The only man who makes no mistake, is the man who does nothing." Theodore Roosevelt
