The Gear After the Sale

Shipping-gear advice tends to come from three places: the printer makers’ own blogs, roundups that list printers nobody has checked against a platform, and forum threads that disagree with each other. What a home seller needs in the gap is a straight answer to will this work with my shop, and what will it cost me to run? That is the question this site is built around.

We do not test hardware, and we never claim to. What we do is read the maker’s own support page and the platform’s own help page for each printer, write down what each says, and note the month we read it on the page. When the two disagree, we show both. When all we have seen is a search-result summary of a page, we say so and mark the claim unconfirmed.

We cover label printers, labels and label cost, scales, boxes, mailers and tape, platform and printer-list questions, and the layout of a home packing station. We print no prices and no carrier rates, because both change; the Label Cost Calculator works from the price you type. We are independent of every maker and platform named here.
