Mailing Tips

Confused about what label to use? Take a look at these basic rules! 1. Invest in a scale and weigh every bundle before you offer a "bundle price." Take into consideration that the SELLER is responsible for paying any additional shipping fees over the 2lb rate that the buyer pays. 2. If your package is under 13oz, you're responsible for purchasing your packaging material. Poly bags are available on Amazon. Buy 25-50 to get started and you can pay as little as $.15 each. 3. If you're using a 2lb or bigger label, the USPS has boxes and bags that you can use for FREE!!! Take advantage of them! They're in the Post Office and available for delivery through the USPS website or app. 4. You can even have the supplies delivered to your door. Download the USPS app. You can request a pickup and order supplies EASILY from it. This will save you time and gas money because you won't need to go to the Post Office! 5. Do NOT leave it up to your buyer to pay for additional postage at the Post Office. This is an unpleasant surprise for anyone. Plus, TotSpot has cheaper contract rates that will not be applied if a buyer has to pay for additional weight when she arrives to pick up her package. 6. Do NOT use Flat Rate or Regional Rate boxes. These are not part of TotSpot's contracted rates.
