I started my business about 1.5 months ago. I’ve made a few sales maybe like around 50-100. I sell on Etsy, tiktok shop, Facebook market place BUT I hand write my labels. I can’t really afford a label printer right now and I’m afraid it makes me look unprofessional. I see all the other sells with printers but me? Handwritten… anyone else does this?

    You can’t really hand write shipping labels. Are you hand drawing the barcode too?

    Even if you can’t afford a label printer right now, you can use a regular printer + some tape just fine

      So what I do is I write like the addresses and then I bring it to USPS. But I don’t have a printer either unfortunately😅

        Use Pirate ship and get a thermal printer. I got mine for 40 bucks. It also gives me a discount on shipping. That few extra bucks saved on shipping per order pays for the printer and labels each shipment. And thermal printers use no ink, so no extra costs down the road.
