USPS click N ship cheaper subsitute?

[wildchick]

Firstly, I used to use paypal. Paypal allowed me to print shipping labels right from their site. The benefits of printing postage from paypal was that I did not have to manually shipping information in, It automatically sent tracking info to customers and most importantly It allowed me to print First class parcel postage and save on tracking(deliver confirmation), about 75 cents.



The Problem is I cannot use paypal anymore(they froze me). I now have to use click N ship via usps.com

yes, I have to manually type information in, but this doest bother me.

yes, I have to manually email tracking info to the customer, but this doesnt bother me.

But, when I have to ship via first class parcel, I cannot even use usps.com. I have to go to the post office and I have to pay an extra 75 cents.

Why is usps retarded enough to allow paypal to use first class parcel, but not its actual site?

Can someone give me a solution my problem? Basically i want paypal like smoothness and being able to print postage at home.

Did you try the USPS Click-n-Ship add-on (http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=285)?

NO, I didnt even know about that module! WOW ZEN cart has amazing support.

Now how about my main concern, which is being able to prepay and print for first class small parcel? This will also saves me $.75 :)

You also need to have the USPS shipping module enabled and configured (make sure that you have the latest version of the module). When you configure the module, indicate that you want to have First Class postage enabled.
