Does anyone see this as an option yet? I meet the requirements for a lot of my stuff. I would be shipping it as a “Flats” which Etsy says has to be under 13oz, 15″ x 11″, not rigid (machineable). I ship in 12″ x 9″ flat mailers well under 13oz each but when I do what Etsy says (Select FLATS when purchasing the label) it says there are no services available for the selected shipping method.
UPDATE: I had my dimensions entered wrong. As soon as I corrected that, the option did show. I used this on some of my orders going out this morning and will monitor them before jumping in.
If it’s the same thing they rolled out for flats last year, I tried it. It saved a lot of money on shipping but the buyers hated it because they could not track it at usps, only on Etsy. Also the letter carrier failed to perform a delivery scan on 80% of them.
I was disappointed because it was a great concept but if the buyers aren’t happy it’s not worth using.
