Someone here posted a GREAT link to the USPS new rate chart. I can't find it now. It's like a needle in a haystack. I want my AW search back!

So, I was wondering if the same poster or maybe another could give me the link. It had a nifty chart for all USPS services.

TIA!

Hey fellow AW users that ship via USPS.....

How are you going to handle the rate changes and still have the customer complete the winning bidder form? Unless you charge a fixed shipping rate no one will complete the form without the shipping charges listed. Looks like lots of emails back and forth to obtain the buyers zip code. Then what....edit the winning bidder form and send it? We need AW to implement a fix for this ASAP.

hello all, I've thought about this postage problem .and i came up with fixed postage ,i hate this new move i always used usps and had shipping down, now this so i figured i can go to the farthest point for me it's calif. and go from their all i need to know is my zone and calif. zone. i no this isn't correct but i'd be at the post office even more then i am now. and i think this is one of the dumbest moves the post office has pulled in a while .

This one was the easiest. Took 10 seconds to make. Thanks for the linik.

It's about the 5th one I've tried. The others' script was choking at eBay. Too long. This one was reduced to fit and goes through eBay nicely.

It also allow you to add extra for handling or insurance or whatever.

Also, you can edit the table by adding more rows if want to offer more than one shipping method. For instance. My calculator will show cost for Priority, parcel post, and UPS. All on one calculator. I will make 1 calculator for each pound. Since most of my packages weight under 5 pounds, this will not be time consuming.

I don't have it done for this week's auctions, but will for the next batch.

Ok, dumb question here, and I've been selling for over 5 years.....

How do you find what zone is where? I've seen the rate chart, by zone, but I don't know what area is for each zone

Thanks
