Address Labels for Click & Send parcels

fashionado.58 — Sun, 13 May 2012 06:22:45 GMT

I'm just teaching myself to use this method and all has gone well until I now have the address label which I printed out but am unsure how to attach it to the bag? Or, put differently, which method would be preferable - gluing it or sticky taping it? Or can I buy self adhesive paper? Any advice much appreciated!

Are you using satchels? If so, there is a pocket for the label.

If not, I would be using sticky tape over the whole to make it waterproof and so the barcode is still scannable.

Hi, yes I'm using the Flat Rate 500g Satchel - there is no pocket though - so sticky tape is the best solution?

The pocket for the eBay flat rate C&S satchels is on the back. Just below the closure will be a red line - that's where the opening for the pocket is, it can be a little sticky, but once you have it open, you slide the label in then peel of the strip with the red line to seal it.

Just checking - have you actually purchased the ebay satchels (which definitely do have the clear plastic pocket), or are you using the prepaid Australia Post satchels, in which case you are paying double postage.

Excellent point.

And the standard AP satchels are more expensive, to boot.

Okay fashion, if you haven't already done so pruchase the satchels from the Australia Post eBay store. They cost $1.25 for five, or $3.00 for twenty.

Once you get them, THEN use C&S. If you are, as hogs postulated trying to use C&S labels with standard AP satchels, then you are paying MORE than double.

If this is the case, then package the item up in your own parcel - you will already have paid $6.20 for postage, so no point paying for a prepaid satchel on top of that.

Also have a look at AP's C&S site. A lot of hard work, because AP don't understand logic and finding anything on their site is like swimming in treacle. Which is why I'm not going to hunt up links.

Thanks so much, this has ALL been a great help - I actually managed to manoeuvre through the treacle-like AP site almost 2 weeks ago and ordered the 500g Flat Rate Satchel which took 10 days to arrive!! I'm sorry but every time I think about it I just shake my head. When I enquired as to the whereabouts of the satchels I didn't receive a reply!!

So, I have found this 'display pouch' on the back of the satchel and am going to seal it within. This experience has made me conclude that my eyesight is definitely not what it was and I must immediately visit my optometrist so again, my thanks for bothering to reply.

Cheers

Don't be disheartened - I had the exact same problem as you until I wondered why there was a big blank section on the satchel, then realised it was a pouch.

Click & Send Labels

Hi, This is a great forum. Have found most of the answers to my 'Click and Send' questions here and then some. Everyone seem to be very helpful. So here is the one last question I have sorry if I missed a posting about it. Do my 'Click & Send' labels need to be printed in colour (red & black)? I don't want to buy a colour cartridge just to use all the red up. Cheers for any help 🙂

No, they can be printed using black ink only, I always use a mono laser printer for mine.

Cheers,

black only is fine.... the main thing is that the BarCode prints clearly and not smudged or distorted.

Also make sure you lodge at the PO counter and get the lodgement receipt. This is your proof os postage should anything go wrong. Good luck.

l asked my post office if they could get in some of those little sticky C&S pouches for the labels on B boxes.

Postie ordered them for me but somewhere along the line, a few extra 000 got added onto the amount required.

A box has 10 packets. Each packet has 100 pouches.

Postie got 100 boxes........

He pointed to the pile of boxes and said 'lemme know when you run out'.

Oh my!

Wish I had that problem - my PO grudgingly hand over 1 or 2 pouches at a time when I ask them - like they were liquid gold
