[wonderwoman901]

HI guys just wanted to inform you that this label writer is on sale at OfficeMax for 69.99. You can also go to other office stores and get them to price match it for you. Im also going to print a office max coupon and try to save more on it when I purchase it tomorrow. Hope this helps someone thinking of buying one the sale goes off on the fourth so purchase soon or look on ebay for one lol.

Pretty good price.

Does it work with paypal shipping labels?

How about price comparison.

Since you have to buy their labels and ink do you really save on using this unit?

I can buy very cheap copy paper to print the labels for my HP printer.

[wonderwoman901]

From my understanding its a thermal printer, no ink involved and i think labels are available on ebay for under ten bucks in mega quantities like 500-800 labels.

Yeah that's where I got mine at and yes label printers don't use ink I get my labels on ebay also, pretty descent printer..

i was doing that for a while too...

isnt it tiring?? i had a tendency to triple check every address i hand-wrote. with a label printer i dont have that on my chest

I usually print mines out using an actual printer 1 by 1 for 50-100 items, I am getting sick of doing this, or I write everything down with a pen, which saves you money, might look into purchasing one of these, the labels sure do look "small", but I guess that doesn't matter.

The paypal labels are bigger 2 1/4 by 7 1/2 these are the ones I use with paypal multi order shipping which prints all your orders for the day at once within a minute, way faster then a paper printer.

Fandango your crazy, I bought a zebra LP2844 off ebay for $55. I was using the same method your using and now I have so much extra time. I remember I would send hours on writing down the address, taping the paper to the packages, and double checking that everything was correct.

You can find used zebra's on ebay for $60-80, sometimes even cheaper. The cheaper ones are usually missing the power adapter but you can find those for $5-10 for less if they ship from china.

And what's even better is if you sell the same product and they fit in bubble wrap envelopes, you can have them all pre-packed then hit the print button at starbucks then once you get home all you do is plug in the printer and all your orders for the day print out without logging back in to paypal, then you just slap them on the envelopes and stick them in a bag by the door. We're talking like 5 minutes of work for dozens a packages.

[yotano211]

yup what he said is correct, easy work.

YOU ARE CRAZZYYYYYYY!!!!! Once you go label printer you never go back. I even gave mine a kiss after a week.

Do you stand in line to pay for these packages every time?

[wonderwoman901]

I bought it yesterday it was on sale for 69.99. Office Max didnt have any coupons for the week for technology products probably because they are already doing a big half off sale on most of the high quality tech products. Anyways I knew they took competitor coupons so I printed a ten dollar off Office Depot coupon. I was actually taking a chance doing this because also on this coupon it said it excluded technology items. I kinda figured since it wasnt their coupon they would be less apt to read the thing and the small print at the bottom with the exclusions was so small it could easily be looked over. Anyways I brought the dymo to the counter and the associate went back to verify the coupon with the manager, I was crossing my hands lol and she came back and said the manager would accept it. She marked it to 59.99 after tax it was 64.19 and I was a happy camper. Maybe you guys can try this out today is the last day of the sale so good luck.

I just used starbucks as an example since that's where I do most of my work at, you still have to login to paypal to enter the package weight and method of shipment on your laptop then you can hit print while the printers not connected, so when you get home once you plugin the printer to your laptop the labels will automatically print by itself without having to log back in to paypal again.

I've got a quick question. If you sell different products how would you know who purchased what? Sorry i never had to use one of those, but now i'm curious

[jbluntz]

They have packing slips you can print out also.

I once sold close 60 hard drives and laptop memory pieces over 2 days when I was doing it manually and it took the USPS counter person 2 hours from start to finish to get done with me. After that I started looking for a faster way and found thermal labels.

I am never doing that again. In and out in 5min.
