Printing postage at home

USPS won't let you print First Class postage at home. Stamps.com charges $18/month membership fee. Any other solutions out there for low volume shippers? I just found that both--yes, both--of our local USPS kiosks are down this evening. Yay, me.  

Go buy some stamps at the local store?

I use pirateship and love it for my occasional shipping needs.

Say what? I print first class postage from home nearly every day from usps.com. I shipped out three yesterday.

How? Because I'm doing it wrong. Are you using Click N Ship? 

I use Shippo.com for my business.  Unfortunately it's low volume, haha.

I'm low volume, too. I'm mailing First Class envelopes and large envelopes. The weight can vary a few ounces, though, so stocking up on postage from the post office gets tricky.

Yes, I am using click n ship. I originally set up my account years ago to mail eBay auction sales. I can't imagine it's changed now but they would still let all the current users still use it. FYI, first class only works up to 15 oz of you're hitting a weight limit.

Hmmm. Okay, I'll investigate more. Thanks. I have an Etsy store, but last time I checked, Etsy couldn't compute First Class postage. I just offer free/included shipping. I accept Paypal, so maybe that's an option. Or maybe Etsy has made changes since I last looked. 

My local small Post Office  had a limit of 10 packages yesterday  per person ,  as they only had one counter open because  the regular people had Covid ,

when I got  inline there  was only 4 people in line ,when I left there was 20 !

And the guy with all the packages was one of the 20 to send the rest of his Ebay stuff.

I hope you can get the Postage home printing figured out .
