I print all my labels using PayPal Multi-order shipping, $6.10 SFRB, with free tracking, doesn't every one use them "only" for their cheaper rates?

I doubt this will show up, it's a copy of the click&ship instructions concerning copying and covering the barcode on the label. Not saying anyone doubts what I said was wrong, just putting it out there as to what the post office wants us to not do.
I too want the entire label to be covered with clear shipping tape. Postal workers are not too careful with packages, the paper label could easily be ripped off if not covered with plenty of tape. For my boxes, I cover all of the label with tape except the barcode.

You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

I shipped a SFRB last week. I have an online account. The Click N Ship rate was $6.80.

In the post office it cost me $6.80 for a small flat rate box.

My deal is I pack it all and secure the addresses . I never worried about the contents getting completely separated from the boxes out west . Being here however I have a 50/50 chance of every package coming or going through Memphis TN . They I firmly believe have no less that 50% of the staff fill with Samsonite and airlines luggage handlers . I've begun double packaging where possible for anything going east of Kansas from here .
I just received a padded envelope with a bubble envelope inside that contained a coil spring kit with the springs in one kit embedded in their manufacturer plastic bag .
Ive had 2 items that I could have driven over and picked up spent a night both was and met up with friends for a day or two and been time ahead . The Midway box took 4 days to clear Missouri and 3 across Arkansas twice . Another took 14 days after the ETA on the Express box to come 168 miles from 40 miles south of Tulsa to 55 miles south of Ft Smith AR .
What's irritating about that is that I've gotten packages from Oregon , Nevada , and Idaho in under 72 hr from counter to box/porch . It's not ok .

I mailed a first class letter from Denver to LA on the 1 8th of May, and it hasn’t gotten there yet. This was a replacement letter for one that took a month to get there, also. I’m done with the PO.

I sell and ship a lot of brass, quite often MFRB's and LFRB's packed full. When I can, I use the Tyvek envelopes to put the brass in, and tape those tightly into a bundle.
I'll take a second box and cut it into pieces to completely line the shipping box with, then tape those pieces together - essentially making a second box inside the first. Doubling the cardboard thickness.
Then, I'll use the nylon filament strapping tape and tape the snot of of it. All the seams, all the edges, and around the middles. A LFRB full of 9mm brass weighs around 45lbs, one full of .223 a bit less. I want that sucker tough enough to jump up and down on when I'm done, and I want it to arrive intact!
A PITA, yes - but worth it, and unfortunately, necessary.
Ahh... the old days. That was an Amazon thing. I lost more time trying to scan those Amazon boxes than anything else.
I used to have a side business, I shipped over 100 packages a week. I ALWAYS taped over the barcode and the address. The old scanners had no problem reading through the tape. I left before the current generation of carrier tracking devices were released.
As long as the tape was flat with no wrinkles or bubbles the scanner had no problem. Getting the barcode caught in the gap caused a lot of problems.
A properly packaged item will arrive 99.99% of the time with no problem. Improperly packaged items...not so much.
During the short time I was a mail handler we had some bozo that decided to send some ripe apricots to a friend. He took a large cardboard box, dumped in 50 lbs of ripe apricots, taped it up and mailed it...parcel post. Of course this was during a warm spell. In the 12 hours it took those apricots to make it to the main office they had been reduced to mush and were fermenting. What a mess.
If you don't have access to a apricot tree then you don't know what a ripe apricot is...that actually goes for peaches, plums, and nectarines too.
All of those stone fruits should be eaten right off the tree warm from the sun. Make sure you have a towel because you're going to get wet while you enjoy those bits of heaven.
A truly ripe stone fruit can't be shipped around the block, much less 100 miles down the road in a box with no padding.
