Postage with Stamps ??

[brandeentertainment]

So Can I use stamps for Postage for Expedited Parcels to the US and if So How do I go about doing so ??

[brandeentertainment]

Also will it be sent back to me if I use 100-200 stamps on each Very big box

I have and continue to send bankers boxes to the USA and Overseas with stamps on 5 of the 6 sides (everything except the bottom).

I use "big pretty" stamps so I don't have as many as you will but I have covered the box before.....

As I mentioned in a separate post though, you should first check with your local PO you are dealing with to see if they have different "rules" - they are the ones you'll need to keep happy.....and the "rules" will vary from PO to PO....some will be right, some will be wrong.....

But it is allowed .. So if my PO says no I can say to bad so sad..

My depo loves me so I doubt I will have issues but was just wondering ...

And If YES IT IS ALLOWED 100% then what paper work does my  Depo have to make up ? ( They do not know because they are all in one so not really educated on Canada Post rules

I'm making the assumption you have the paper expedited US form (best to use the new one it has the HS Code stuff on it they should have the new ones) all you do is fill that out stick it on the box and cover the rest of the box with however much postage you need (I'm assuming you'll know how much you need if not the charts are on the CP website in PDF form)

thanks a bunch .. Your assumptions are right.. It's been like 2 year or more sense I haven't just used Paypal Labels...

Stamps are legal for parcels. What does your depot have to do? Well, with the incoming HS codes, they will have to generate a barcode for the parcel. For now, that is free. Starting in the fall that is $2.

I "think" what they want is everything done before you walk in the front door. I was told that the hand written CN22 was going to change as well.

I do not know what this means. Does that mean you can show up with all info entered on the CN22, parcel plastered in stamps, and they generate a barcode for free because you have all your info? Is the $2 charge just for those that the clerks have to hunt and peck through screens?

I am unsure.

Stamps are cheaper than printed postage. Hand writing each label, sticking on stamps, having the PO generate a barcode for every parcel while you stand and wait?

Now you are trading money for time. That is your own personal cost benefit analysis. For me, shipping efficiencies are very important.

Ya non of the depos have the new forms It is driving me nuts... but they can all use the old ones for now ...

This for me is about time as well ... It gets 200010cents stamps/14 cent/15cent/17cents  on 5 parcels which in return will save me a ton of time in the future...

I bought a Discounted 35% off Stamps lot and didn't know what was coming until I got them.. It Sucked

I just made the Nicest box I have ever seen .. 600 17 cents stamps all Country flags ... It's what I like to call "We are are on"

The Postal clerk took one look and said Holy ......... What is this LOL ... ooooo that was funny

[brandeentertainment]

"we are one" oops

[pjcdn2005]

Did they add up all the stamps to see if the amount was right? LOL
