| When I see other people's stores, they're charging shipping prices lower
than what I'm having to pay at the post office. I see people charging 4 dollars,
for example, where for the same size I'm paying to ship orders at 4.50 at
the post office. I see that some people are printing labels, but doesn't
that cost a couple bucks more? Is there a way to pay a lit less in shipping so
I can charge less for it?

Edit: I also realize I should've put this under the Shipping topic.

Printing labels is cheaper because you're buying postage at the commercial
rate instead of the retail. Personally I use Pirate Ship to print labels.

For pirate ship, if I select the envelope/padded envelope, it's fine for
lego right? It isn't an option where it will go through a machine and get
smashed?

| Nope. Padded envelopes won't go through the same machine as flats. You can
actually make the padded envelopes quite think without issue.

Nope - it's a First Class Parcel which is handled separately. You get a tracking
number too.
