    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Anyone else always have the stupid things print where your address (the sender) comes out perfect and the address to where it is being shipped always come out crappy? My address is tiny and prints fine. The bigger address where I am shipping to always has to be "fixed". At least the barcode comes out fine but this just bugs me.
 
I've never printed any labels. They sent me a large bundle of preprinted labels with my info already on them. I just fill out the send to address and stick it on the package.
How does the label printing work? My labels have 3 copies attached and a peel off backing. Do you have these standard blank labels that you feed through the printer, or is it all done on regular printer paper?
 
Everything is computerized. I schedule pickups, deliveries, print the label with airbill number and all shipping info (on regular printer paper) from my PC, pick how I want to ship, and so forth. The Airborne website keeps track of everything in my history file. The barcode is scanned when picked up. No need for all the copies with the regular pre-printed labels. They even email the buyer for me with the tracking info and a note from me. I also get billed online (net 15) with is linked to to my account so all I do is approve the payment.
I just ordered some of their preprinted labels to avoid the crappy printing job. I don't really like the quality of how they print on my end. Funny part is it is always the ship to address that comes out terrible.
 
I do schedule pickups online part of the time, but I think I'll just stick to using my pre printed labels, especially with the poor printing job you're getting.
