        Does everyone know that there is a free piece of software at 
www.usps.com ??  It is a shipping program , allows you to produce labels 
for your boxes, the labels will print out on any printer since they are set 
up to print as pdf files, they are large, neat and call attention to the 
package.  An additional benefit is that you do not pay for delivery 
confirmation it is free if you use the shipping assistant provided by the USPS.

        If you have a simple scale you can figure out postage via any rate 
to anywhere in the  world.  This is a fine tool  with the major changes in 
Priority Mail .....................

        I am not selling the  USPS for fish delivery, but this program 
does make it very easy to produce labels, keep an address book of 
shipments, calculate postage, and save  40 cents for delivery 
confirmation,  It is the label style that I really like,,,,,,,,,,

        Try shipping Priority on Saturday........  no labels indicating 
fish etc.... I have had great success , most packages  arrive on Monday.

        program is Shipping assistant, it is free and available at 
www.usps.com.

Try it  ...... you might like it......... It is worth at least the cost of 
purchase ..................:0)
