By the way, it is illegal for your post office to refuse to scan your printed postage. Your post office is getting credit for all the labels you print at home or office. So they should be THRILLED they don't have to ticket and deal with each item themselves. All they have to do is scan the label, and that's just a different task their computers are set up to do. So I don't know why they would complain. If they refuse, I would contact the main office and file a complaint.
When I went in the two days I couldn't print a scan sheet, my post office just did the individual scans. It takes one second.
LOL Not illegal but ignorant.
It's only those that are not up on the techology have trouble scanning these sheets because they're not taught how to do it or not taught new procedures. They look at you like you crazy. One time a clerk told me that the scan form don't scan because its only one package (she went to the back office to ask too!). My printer prints those small intl barcodes like crap so I would have them scan the acceptance form instead but noooooo. So when I print out labels again I checked and the USPS.com says that I can use a scan form with one package as long as the ship from zip codes and ship dates are the same. And they don't get it that if you scan a package and then the scan form, the scan form won't scan. I had to print out the text from the dialog window to bring it with me to show them. Idiots!
And here's a tip:
If you have to ship First Class Pkg Intl Registered Mail, buy the First Class Pkg Intl postage online, then when you get to the PO, ask them to do Registered Mail and they can give you credit on the FCPIS postage and then just charge you the Registered Mail Fee. That way you can save a bit on the FCPIS postage. 🙂 I asked the meanest clerk at my main PO and she said she can do that, suprisingly. LOL
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
