USPS own shipping label question

[sram444]

trying to print off shipping labels at home for the first time... Just had a question. If the scale says a package ways 1.25 OZ what do you put in at USPS.com? You cant put in the exact weight. All it will let you do is 1OZ or 2OZ

Any help would be appreciated

It is actually up to 2 oz, not 2 oz on the dot, so if its 1.25 you would do 2 oz.

Also can you print the postage and label onto regular paper and tape it on with packing tape? Just curious Thanks

Thanks man i appreciate it... Do you know my other question also?

[CamaroPat]

through paypal? yes
not sure through usps.com (never tried) but I'm guessing yes you could print on regular paper and tape it on the package

BTW i always put 3 oz on the packages (even though it's less than 3 oz)
It's the same price for 1 oz, 2 oz, 3 oz

Always put a higher weight, the cost difference is a few pennies.
