    Default What do you do for pre-paid shipping labels?

    I am so used to using ebay to print out shipping labels at a discount, I almost forgot that I won't be able to use this service anymore! What services do you use for printed labels. Obviously waiting in line at the post office is not an option, so I have to have those labels printed and ready to go. Click-N-Ship only works for USPS priority. The majority of my packages are sent first class.

    There are 2 options I am aware of but I am looking for cheaper options. Subscribing to Pitney Bowes (the same service ebay uses) or stamps.com. I know that stamps.com is fully compatible with Zen-Cart. But $16 a month for the ability to print first class labels does not sound like a great option for me. I am trying to avoid monthly fees if at all possible.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks so much!
    PS USPS is my only option since first class packages can't be beat in price by anyone else.

    EDIT: Well I should have read the part where you do first class, not priority, so you didn't want to use click-n-ship. Sorry, nothing to see here......

    Two options that I'm aware of:
    1) If you use PayPal as the payment method, you can create a label for the order there (prepaid using your PayPal account).
    2) The USPS also has a product called "Shipping Assistant" which will, if you also purchase a Pitney Bowes printer, print prepaid labels. Without the "special" printer, the tool will print the labels but you have to go to the Post Office (or affix stamps).
