serious logisitcal question - anyone know if it's possible to insure, apply tracking, and pay postage on a package online somehow? if i could just go to the post office and do a drop off that'd be A LOT better then rocking up with over 100 packages to process.

i'm blind. one look at USPS.gov and it's right there...

For the sake of the postal employees, please do this.

This is definitely the way to go.  I've been doing business on eBay for a several years now, and have got the process down now.

I would recommend getting some of the boxes you're going to ship the items in (get different sizes for different-sized orders), and some self-adhesive laser labels (Avery 5126 or equal), and actually printing labels and doing a test shipment or two before you get the items and ship for real.

I have a box of the labels I can send you.  Let me know.

i see that i can just print it on regular printer paper. i'll just do that ,then apply to box/envelope and cover in packing tape so it's waterproof.

i figure padded envelopes for overs of 5 or less (each unit in it's own anti-static bag and bubble wrapped) and for bigger orders, boxes with foam inserts to separate the units. i already have a ton of cardboard and foam from other stuff, so it's no big to do that.

Just a heads up, my friend asked me last minute to get one for him, so I sent an additional payment for a total of five units (spreadsheet currently shows four paid)

You can do that, but they don't want you to tape over the barcodes, and they're a bit of a pain to avoid (I've done it hundreds of times).

Please, please don't use a padded envelope for my shipment.  Use a box with packing material (crumpled newspaper works) surrounding the items.  Understand that the mail gets beat the f up.  You should see what some things look like after they've been through it.  I can imagine anything in a padded envelope getting thoroughly crushed.

I use boxes like these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/200-6-x-3-x-2-White-Corrugated-Shipping-Mailer-Packing-Box-Boxes-/380554330622

+1 never use padded envelopes for hardware. use small boxes they keep their shape.
