I say you do whatever is easiest for you brett. I'm sure this whole thing has been a bit of a headache already, and the tough part is still to come.
My vote is usps boxes I think they have a flat shipping rate just figure out how many will fit in each box then everyone can PayPal you and you ship.

Us providing shipping labels will certainly make things a little easier for Brent. He would be able to come up with standardized weights for each quantity of towels. Then he can let us know the 1 address he'll ship from. sure a lot easier than him having to compute everyone's cost (because it'll be different fro every person except USPS flat rate--And even the USPS flat rate would vary depending on how many towels a person bought which would dictate the size of box needed).
I think the only "compromise" would be that Brett offers two offers:
- USPS flat rate boxes (size obviously depends on the volume of the towels)
- You send him a label from the shipper of your choice.
That said, for those that are thinking of the USPS flat rate boxes, consider that the volume of the towels is going to be a lot relative to their weight. The USPS flat rate boxes might actually be more expensive than having it sent first class mail or via UPS/FED-Ex. So you might be actually costing yourself more by going flat rate on a lighter bigger item like towels.
Brett, you already know i'll be getting you a fedex label. I'm just throwing out some insight for everyone else.
The FedEx thing will take some time as I don't know how to get a label when the package isn't available.

At the end, it'll give you the option to print a label. Either print it to a PDF or when it displays on your screen, simply do a "print screen" (control/printscreen) and then paste that into an email to Brett.
You lost me at create an account.
USPS mailer for me with a PayPal payment. That method is bound to fail somewhere with the number of people involved, variables like package size, package weight, a so called shipping method and then have Brett get shipping packages and then ship them. That method hasn't changed since the 1970s except getting the shipping label which I could do going to a FEDEX store a mile away and get one of theirs.Quote:
