Hi, I was wondering how everyone else were keeping track of their incoming orders.
Right now I usually print two copies of an order, unless it's real big, and
enclose one with the order and keep one for myself. I like having the address
in front of me when I complete the shipping process. I do hate to waste ink and
paper though. Thanks!

I don't print any copies of the order. Once I'm done packing an order
I weigh it and put the weight (e.g. 3oz) and the buyer's initials on it.
That almost always suffices to match the package to the shipping label.

Please also put the Bricklink order number on the outside of the package. As
a buyer, it is often very annoying to receive a package without any reference
to shop name or order number, when you are expecting a few dozens in one batch.

I have never felt the need to receive the printout of the order, not even for
big ones.

No printing of order details. Pack it, weigh it, print the label from shipstation,
move on to the next order. Put them out for pickup.
