New set just cleaned, have to get some pics and i'll post them here shortly..
I recently signed up for Stamps.com after seeing so many WC folks using it and after getting so tired of waiting in line nearly every day to ship packages. Its a mixed blessing - if I weren't in line, it means I'm not selling, but I knew there had to be a better way to ship stuff than making a trek to the PO every day. I even considered buying a scooter to make the trips to the PO, since its only about 2 miles away and I hated running the car for that short distance. But Stamps.com has been a super idea and I'm glad I did it. Course it sat on my desktop for a week before I had the guts to actually print anything with it, and I'm still learning my way around it - i've only been printing shipping labels so far - not using their stickers or stamps yet (course, you have to buy their stickers whereas I can print labels using my plain printer paper). I like that it has Delivery Confirmation already built into it and now it even offers Insurance - whereas you had to go directly to the PO to insure anything in the past, I can do it now online. I spoke to the postman yesterday and told him I'd be putting my packages in a cooler on our front porch, hidden behind our bushes and we figured out a code so he knows if there's anything in there to take or not. Our little mailbox attached to the front of our little houe would never hold everything and I don't want my neighbors to see I have packages ready to be picked up. I like things that make my life easier...isn't the internet groovy...?
