Is there any way to tweak something?  I posted 2 books to another member's wishlist.  It comes up in my account as two separate transactions.  I do plan on mailing these together, why when I print the label, won't it just give me total weight/total postage needed for both books together?  Is this something that can be worked on?  Gotta go to the p.o now.  No, I have no scale and have no $ for a scale.

f you are having the PO weigh the books it's a non-issue because they will tell you how much it costs.  It would only be an issue if you were trying to use the pre-printed postage system.

That's why it's an issue, because I was wanting to use the PBS system so I would not have to go to the P.O.

Can you not pull up both labels, note the estimated weight of each separate book, add them, then enter that number into the weight field on just one of the labels?  If you're using DC, you'd only pay for tracking/quick credit on one book, but you could mail them both together.

This happened to me th eother day when I tried using the new postage feature.  I ended up doing them seperately because my scale needed a battery and I couldn't weigh it.  You could try the suggestion Natasha gave you but if you don't have a scale you might not want to because the wieght may be off.

Thanks I will try that next time.  Now, I've had 2 books ordered by the same person, haven't had an order since you could do PBS postage.  Is there not an option to just print postage only...is it  only postage+DC , DC, or nothing at all?

Printable postage from any source must have DC.
