Help with Shipping my items what address to use

[fredricksontyson]

Hey question I have I bought a account and made up a account. When shipping the items I have started selling do I use the shipping address as the account my question is the account I bought is using a addresss from the east coast and when buying my shipping labels should I change the address? cause the calculation is way wrong on usps shipping to the east coast is cheap and It should be more money because I really live on the west coast? hope that question makes sense

What are you using to print your labels?

If you're using Ebay shipping, you'll either have to change your shipping address on Ebay or change the "ship from" zip code when you print your labels.

Printing your shipping labels externally is an easy way to avoid this problem. Stamps.com is awesome and Endicia is a free (I think) alternative. Just putting that out there!

I only use flat rate shipping, I would print from ebay and place the " cheapo " name label over it without problems.
I but the ones that are like 500 name labels for 7 bucks-ish.
I was told by my post office, since its flat rate , it doesnt really matter where its shipped from.

You're getting slaughtered on postal rates if you're using only Flat Rate options. Regional or cubic rates are always cheaper for the same size package.

If you want to get access to cubic rates without having the volume you can use fitshipper.com. Not sure if they're stealth safe, but you can always do the quick shipping option and manually enter the address.
