Gonna be honest. I stopped caring a few years ago.

Someone actually requested UPS shipping for an order from my website. somehow they got charged $19.99 through the UPS interface. When I went to ship it the cost to ship was $25. This was a $5 item I was not going to take a loss on this order.

Go to stamps.com and the UPS charge is $6.21. So I pay 4x as much through my account? Thanks for ripping off small businesses.

Yeah, a few years back I went to a local FedEx Kinkos to drop off a pre-packed and pre-labeld packaged. The manager said they literally would not be able to take the package because there was a slight (<.5") bump on the top of the package from having filled it slightly too much with packing peanuts. They offered to repack/rebox the package for of course a huge fee.

Nahsir.

Long gone are the ā€œgive em the pickleā€ days.

OR at least that phrase has a different connotation now..

My coworker lost our 4XL a few weeks ago, so we bought a 5XL. Setting it up had some issues, had to contact Dymo support, but it seems to work fine now.

We also have a Zebra and we use the labels interchangeably.

I had a Zebra LP2844 that was problematic with most cheap roll labels. Only one brand I used was problem free. I upgraded to a Zebra 450 and it has handled all labels Iā€™ve thrown at it. Many roll labels have problems at the end of the roll wasting lots of labels. I made the switch to fanfold and have had no problems however cheap the labels. The fan fold are considerably cheaper than rolls. I always do a ā€œscratchā€ test when using new labels. Some of the cheap ones mark up pretty easy on the face when scratched.

Not a fan of the newer dymos, with the RFID tag in the label roll to prevent you from buying 3rd party labels. Joke is on them, once you use a roll, take the rfid sticker off and stick it inside the housing, now it always thinks you have legit rolls!

Donā€™t know that one but I know K Cups gave up on the whole scheme a while back!

DC is fine and all but it does not really hold a candle to Coke Zero.

Coke C2 was pretty good while it lasted.

I tried this, it never works for me. I must be doing it wrong but I canā€™t imagine how.

Looking at your link, One of the images shows they are UPS branded labels. The ones they give shippers for free. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/qpEAAOSwjeJlsHDo/s-l1600.jpg

This always rubbed me the wrong way. Plus, if you are using USPS, you would have to, though most people donā€™t cut off the bottom of the label.

I remember ordering half sheets on eBay years ago, they were drop shipped from UPS. Something I could have asked for at no cost.

Apparently the reader isnā€™t great so the positioning has to be somewhat precise

The ones that I bought (not these) are plain white labels and were a heck of a deal. I have no idea where the seller got them from ā€“ it could have been lost freight or whatever.

The OP was looking for ideas and these popped up. Sort of like using the Amazon ā€˜search engineā€™ ā€“ GIGOā€¦

Those are the ones that I got and they are working great. That seller is no longer on eBay but when you look at the store info he has a contact number to ā€˜redirectā€™ business off eBay.

Must have taken lessons from some Amazon sellersā€¦

I thought the price was great on the ones you pointed to, I found others on eBay in the same price range. On Amazon they are in the $99 range.

For us, we are in temporary tight quarters. I donā€™t even have the room to put them behind the printer. So for now we use rolls. When we move, I am going looking, better price, and no more changing rolls.

@Tried_Tested How is this printer working for you a year later? In my never-ending battle against cords Iā€™m seriously considering ditching my Dymo XL for one of these since theyā€™re relatively cheap. I would Bluetooth everything in my office if I could!

I spent over 2 hours one day moving the RFID sticker around inside the housing, no dice. I use it as a paperweight now.
