Default Re: USPS Shipping Label Addon for X-Cart

I have not used 4.1.8's one click printing because I understand you create the labels and then pay for them later - to me that's extra work, not less work.

With Endicia Integrator, you run the integrator, it shows you all your open orders, grouped into USPS shipping domestic, international, and something else, can't remember what. you uncheck the ones you DON'T want to ship and click the Run Endicia button. Then all the selected orders for that section appear on one sheet. The shipping address, shipping method are set, your default box type (you set a default for each shipping method (1st class, parcel), stealth mode (hides shipping cost on label), insurance options are set. The estimated weight is set, but i usually ahve to change this to the actual weight. Then you click another button and save the XML to your endicia folder. When Dazzle is open, it automatically finds the file and prints my beautiful zebra labels (you set which labels you want). Each label has the order number on it, so it's easy to stick it on the right box. Then I just drop those suckers off at USPS (they let me put them on a cart in the back, no line, no waiting).

In short, a process that used to take me hours takes me minutes now. Literally. I get paid for, ready to adhere labels (I used to cut and tape the USPS/PayPal ones, took forever, wasted tape, ink, paper).

hope this makes sense - i need coffee!!!
