Ron,
I use Endicia and their Dazzle software.
Here's what we do.
Update all auction lots, generate invoices, Retrieve email. Record Paypal payments and store buyer's shipping information into AW2K. Items are packaged for shipping. Invoice for package is found. We copy and paste the entire buyer's name and address from the Paypal payment into Dazzle. Hit verify address and then print.
We keep track of the item pkg weight in inventory items as well. But the weight is recorded on top of the box as well. So whoever is printing shipping labels has the weight right in front of them, Enter in appropriate shipping method, weight etc and print label.
I agree==it is amazingly fast. Since we use the same Zebra printer for USPS and UPS, there isn't any messing around with different type labels.
The tracking number is pasted back from Dazzle into AW2K so when shipping notices are sent out all the fields are already completed and no errors occur when generating the email notices.
Sorry,, I would love to have a cup of Seattle coffee... Just live tooooooo far away. But the next time we come to Seattle on Business, I may give you a shout..
