USPS Plugin for Shipping from Website?

[Sam (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger)]

Hi All,
Sorry I haven't been very active in the group lately and I haven't done much writing. I've been struggling between being ill and trying to get a website up and running to earn money. I'm wondering if anyone has a website that would be able to assist me with a problem I'm having.

The items I hope to sell on my website are metal bookmarks, handmade key chains, and other jewelry items. These items weigh between a few to several ounces each. I wish to ship to all of the USA and Canada through USPS First Class, Priority, and Flat Rate mail rates. I have the ability of assigning the correct weight to each product. Does anyone know of a plugin that will calculate the correct postage charge based on the total weight of the order for the customer when they check out?

I hope I've explained this issue correctly. I want the customer to be able to complete the entire checkout process in one stop rather than have to wait for me to enter their order weight and shipping address into the USPS website and then manually add the postage charge to their order.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Hugs

You know, I just remembered, there is this postage thing- it's one rate- they used to advertise it- Like 9.99- Call them and see if they have the one rate. Also, I bought prepaid envelopes to mail books. I don't remember how much they were, but we could mail whatever would fit in the and the rate never changed. I want to say they were like 4.95.

Thanks, Carole. I think I know what you're talking about... If It Fits, It Ships boxes. Those are great for heavy items and I'll be using those if I'm lucky enough to get an order weighing one pound or more. My problem is their smallest box is $6.25 and their Flat Rate padded envelope (in which I can fit a box) is $5.95. If someone buys one bookmark, I can pack it securely and it can ship for around $3.00, which is much more reasonable. I need the software like they have for eBay that calculates the correct shipping charge from my house to the customer's by the weight of the package. Sounds simple, but not easy to find!
