I know this has been hashed over many times before and some may feel I am preaching to the choir... but, if that is the case, why do I continue to get postals that do not have tape under the labels? New people participate in postals all the time, so ma...

Gotta say - I never tab, and if it's a deal breaker for people, then I don't join those rings. I've never had an issue getting the label off if the package is taped around. As far as the stamps, if some of it is still stuck on the package, you can...

The stamps might not be a problem, but I've spent up to half an hour trying to get those tracking labels off postals. If everyone left them on a ring of several people, it would be a real mess by the time the owner got the package back. I was in a ri...

Maybe not all post offices use the same type of labels and you’ve been lucky to run across some that peel off easily. Based on my own experience of spending up to 30 minutes picking off tiny little pieces of the label, and the evidence that those who h...

I would agree with SpringChick's comments as general guidelines to make cleaning off the labels and re-packaging simpler. However, I rue the day when multiple rules are made mandatory or someone becomes persona non grata for not complying. As always...

I remember the day when the postals came home after a long trip looking like old steamer trunks with stamps and labels all over them. If they got really bad we’d take a kid’s brown lunch bag and just cover the whole thing in a disposable wrapping. And...

I actually love to see the envelope all messed up like that after making its way around the ring.... the problem I’ve run into is that the post office will not take them if too much of the old labels are on the envelope. I have on occasion, just taped...

Maybe we're not talking about the same thing. I thought you were talking about the address label. I never get the big tracking labels from the PO. I always opt for the small ones/stamps. I know you can do this at a self serve kiosk. Can you not ask the...

I've spent up to half an hour trying to get those tracking labels off postals I just have never had this same experience.

I just don’t see why anyone wouldn’t be willing to take 2 minutes to apply and tab a couple pieces of tape to make it easier for the next person in line. Like I said, I've never spent more than 2 minutes taking stuff off, so I guess to me it's a wash....

If you hand the mailer to the post office clerk they will put a tracking sticker on it. Even if the postage is sufficient. I think some people don't know this and they don't put tape where the large tracking bar code goes.

The address label is generally not a big issue since most people use a scrap of paper and tape it on. If you find a corner of the tape, it’s not difficult to remove. It is the USPS labels that are the issue. As Ugly Duckling pointed out, if you go to...

There is no kiosk at the post offices where I go, so I am not familiar with how that works, but I imagine people who use the kiosk have a choice where to place the labels so there wouldn’t be the issue of not knowing where the label will end up. Yes....

Be aware that if you are one of those who just slaps stamps on your wonderfully taped mailers, the stamps may come off and the recipient may have to pay the postage to pick them up at the post office.

I really appreciate it a lot when someone places the tape under the postage and tracking, tabs, and marks the tabs (sometimes it’s hard to see those tape ends). The removal is so easy, and the envelope is nice and neat to send onward. And, the joy of...

I should send myself a postal and see how my own taping methods work for the recipient. I always wonder if the tabbed tapes that I do are easily removed, etc. The best one I ever received had marked tabs that were numbered for removal order.

You could Add a note in the next few Postals you mail out, asking the recipients for honest feedback on the ease or difficulty of removal and if they have suggestions on improvement.

Isn't that how the concept of a quisp became popular with postals? I viewed them as a reward for cleaning off the labeling.

I have traditionally used postage stamps instead of slogging into the PO which is a time saver for me. Often hard to get to a PO during working hours except on Saturday. It also saves the recipient cleaning time. When using stamps the PO doesn't sla...

I love using Paypal to pay and print out my address/postage/tracking. I just print it out at home. Everything is on one sheet of regular paper, and I clear tape the edges to the postal envelope. No sticky mess! It also costs less, and I don't have to...

Just wondering how someone goes about setting up a postal ring?

Oh I think I found the 'create tracker' button under my trackers page. Are there any special things to keep in mind as you go through this process. I am not creating anything right now, just curious for future reference.

Yes. 1. Will it be a single or ring? A single is your one stamp going to everyone and returning. In a ring everyone carves a stamp and they circulate in order until you get your stamp back. 2. How many people will you allow in the tracker. For a...

Heads up! As far as I know, the rate increase has been approved. I'm going to the post office tomorrow anyway, and will ask. http://blog.stamps.com/2017/10/26/usps-announces-2018-postage-rate-increase/

Yes, I got an advt. from Pitney Bowes trying to sell us a postage meter because of the postal increase so we would save .03/stamp but pay $20 a month.

Wow--If the average postal uses 8 stamps, you would only need to mail 83 of them each month to break even! Such a deal :)
