If you are selling on Etsy, the easiest and cheapest way to mail your packages is directly through Etsy’s platform.
So far, this is the best way I have found for 2 reasons…
1. Shipping on Etsy is cheaper. Being an Etsy seller qualifies you for commercial base shipping prices, which are slightly cheaper than the prices you would pay if you went to the post office and paid there.
2. The tracking number is automatically sent for you. You no longer have to copy the tracking number from your receipt to send to your buyer. When you buy through Etsy, their system automatically sends them an email with the tracking number + shipping information. Automation for the win!
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Go to the Orders and Shipping tab in your Shop Manager
2. Find the order you want to ship.
3. Click the postal truck icon at the top right of the order.
4. Fill out the information with the package details. (Shipping Method, Package Type, Package Dimensions, Package Weight, Ship Date)
5. Click Confirm and Buy
6. Click Purchase
7. Click Print Shipping Label
8. Print your label!
It’s as easy as that! If you have any questions about shipping on Etsy, please reach out!

Hello ! I am all new to Etsy so maybe my question is a little naive: after i successfully print the shipping label and stick it to my package, when i go to the post office and give them it, i don’t have to pay anything more, right? Just give them ?
Correct! You won’t owe anything more!
