Hi everyone. I ship about 60 packages a week and just started using Endicia to print priority postage w/free delivery confirm. I've been using individual Avery 4x6 labels and they look great, but they're pretty expensive (about 15 cents apiece). I remember seeing an earilier thread where someone mentioned getting similar labels for 4 cents each, but now I can't find the thread. Can anyone help with a good source for labels? Thanks!
Currently I'm using the Priority labels that you get free from the Post Office. In order to use the free DC with them, I have to use the longer, older labels that you can't order anymore, but some post offices still have some in stock.

I use the 4 x 3 1/3 labels from a seller on ebay. These are 6 to a sheet and I use them 2 at a time for the postage and the bar code. I pay 1.1 cents per label at this time. With the new rules here I don't think I'm allowed to name the seller. If a moderator can verify that or indicate that I can post the sellers user ID I'll be happy to add that in here.

Thanks everyone. I'll check out gflabels and look into the 4 x 3 1/3s. I'm still working on learning how to get Endicia set up to do the things I want using different types of labels, but once I figure it out I think I'll definitely use one of these options since they are so much less expensive than what I've been doing.
And the free delivery confirmation is awesome. I just had a situation where a dishonest buyer emailed me claiming not to have received his $40 item. I sent him the confirm number showing that it had been delivered to him several days ago and that was the end of it. So, even with using the expensive labels, it's already paid for itself this month.
