Off topic, do you have one stamps account or several to handle your stealth accounts?

[slim jim]

Slim I was told that you can hook up a ton of stealths to one stamps account but log in with a different IP each time.

so you import sales data from multiple but do manual uploading of tracking?

[slim jim]

no data to import, i copy and past the address to stamps and then type in the tracking #. might be a hassle with high volume but i do not have that problem

The people behind the desk are usually the laziest and the worst for USPS. I have gone to about 20 different Post Offices in 10 cities here and they are terrible. Packages get lost in mail room. They leave them at the counter for somebody to rip off. I have had a 99% success rate dropping packages in those 24 hour machines. Normally some worker be grabs the right before then they head right out to the truck to take them to their next destination. I am also very picky about giving anything to my mail carrier. I have a rotating crew where I am at I only trust one of them.
