Custom Rubber Stamps Express

Delivery Time
What is the delivery time? and delivery options. You dont want to be in a position of running out of labels and having to wait several days for your order to arrive. Also ask what the delivery options are. The pricing for delivery can really inflate the price. A great price on shipping labels wont do you much good, if the shipping charges are inflated.

Free Shipping for Larger Quantities
Depending on the quantity you order, the vendor may be willing to offer Free Shipping. Dont expect them to alway offer it, larger companies will go by their shipping policy, smaller vendors want your business and may be willing to offer Free Shipping if your order is large enough to make it worth it to them.

Price Matching
Mabe 20 years ago, price matching was impressive. Not anymore. Why would you do business with a vendor that was willing to charge you more then a competitor, then only match a competitors price. When you are shopping around and getting price quotes on blank mailing and shipping labels dont accept a price match, make them beat the price!

Blank Mailing Labels
Dont forget about mailing labels. Most businesses mail much more mail pieces then they do packages. Blank mailing labels are available in sheets, and still available for dot matrix printers. Since blank label stock is USUALLY priced based on the label stock type (inkjet, laser, glossy, matte, clear etc) the price for 500 sheets of Blank Shipping Labels should be the same as 500 sheets of Blank Mailing Labels.

Ask for Samples
We have covered alot of pricing tips and strategies here and they are all an important part of seeking out and finding the best deal on blank mailing and shipping labels, but there is one critical thing you must do before you order. Ask for Samples. Most generic non-name brand blank labels are just as good as the higher priced name brands. It is crucial that you have samples sent to you so you can feed them thru your printer. You need to actually test the product with your equipment to make sure the labels perform they way you expect.

Buying Blank Mailing and Shipping Labels
I think this should cover all the bases. Print this out and file it in with other business documents or articles. If you have any additional tips or suggestions, please post comments so everyone can benefit.

Many businesses that ship packages to their customers make the mistake of printing the shipping information onto blank paper and then using packing tape to attach it to the package. Although this does work, it is defiantly NOT the most efficient method.If your business is a one person operation and you only ship an occasional package it may make sense to hand write the shipping address directly on the package, but as your business grows you need to use the most efficient method to streamline your shipping process. Using blank sheet labels for laser and inkjet printers can save you time, but more importantly, when used with a program such as Stamps.com, it can help you organize and track your packages.The most popular sizes to use for shipping labels are Full Sheet Labels or Half Sheet Labels (Two 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ Labels per page).If your business ships several packages per month, you can save money by purchasing blank sheet labels in bulk.
