How can I print a USPS first class shipping label for free shipping items?

Topic summary

Goal: print a USPS First Class postage label for items set to free shipping.

Advice: two options were suggested.

  • Remove free shipping and use a USPS First Class rate so a label can be generated with postage.
  • Create two shipping profiles for the same items: one with a free shipping rate and another with a USPS First Class service.

Caveat: with dual shipping profiles, both rates (free and USPS) may appear at checkout, which could present multiple shipping choices to buyers.

Terminology: “shipping profiles” are configurations that assign shipping rates and services to specific items and control what options show at checkout; “USPS First Class” is a postal service for lightweight parcels.

Outcome: no confirmation from the original poster on which approach was taken; no final resolution. The thread currently remains open with the provided suggestions and noted trade‑off at checkout.

Hi @204471 ,

You either have to remove free shipping or create two shipping profiles with the same items & set rates as free shipping & USPS first class service. However, with the shipping profile both the shipping rates (free shipping & USPS) might be displayed at the checkout.
