I had a request for 2 books from the same member. I did not want to bulk mail them. I chose to mail them separately.  I printed the wrapper for the first book which states the name of that book, the size is correct, and 1st class mail, and amount of the postage.  I went back to print the second wrapper and it says it can only do a reprint because I already printed the postage for bulk mail for the 2 items together, but I didn't.  This has never happened to me before.  Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help so I can get these mailed out in time!

Thanks!

No idea Megan, I'm not sure you can seperate a bulk mailing label.  Not sure why you would even want to, it's much cheaper to ship the books as one package.

When the books are still on your "Books to be Mailed" page, I believe that there is a drop down somewhere that lets you choose to mail together or separately. The default is to mail them together. You would pick from the drop down to mail them separately.

I mail multiple books frequently, although I don't have any orders sitting there this morning, so I can't double check the exact wording on the pull down.

I am not sure why you want to mail them separately, though. It is way way cheaper to mail them in the same package.

You have to go to the option to mail separately before you print. It's much cheaper to mail together so not sure why you'd want to send them separately.
