Label Printing Help needed

black_hawk84

I am very new to selling online and looking to use royal mail. The thing I am very confused about is postage and how labels are generated.

I would like to know how people send items in bulk e.g if I sell 10 items every day - I cannot go to post office as they saying I need to print my own labels at home and bring them here for proof of posting. This is mainly because my local post office is very busy and they would not produce proof of posting via machines they use. I then tried Click and drop service from RM but label printed is too big with my own address written on it and cost of label on it? I don't want my buyers to know that I am selling items with this amount of posting and I cannot find a way to remove return address from label. How can I avoid that or is there a way to avoid this?

Finally I would like to know how people print their stamps at home where they send parcel with their own stamp with 2 written on it for 2nd class and 1 for first class? How do they generate this as this option best suits me. Can this be generated using small printer at home that print labels.

Please can some one help me ?

Thanks

You do not have to show your return address with click & drop, there is a box to tick if not required. As to the postage cost it is at the bottom of the label so perhaps just cut it off?

persevere with click and drop as it is completely customable , you can add what you want and remove what you don't want- and resize your labels. Alternatively print via ebay or paypal.

If you want a proper label printing service from RM then you need to approach them via their business link and they can advise about a Online Business account (OBA) and there are loads of options. I use click and drop OBA via the business portal. My small parcels are about the same as normal click and drop, but i pay slightly extra for my large letters as I get delivery conformation on them. It also has the advantage that when you link your ebay to it all the address carry across.

lastly, never send without a return address, if something cannot be delivered or is refused then RM need a return address to get it back to you.
