Using a courier without a printer?

I've got a large-ish parcel to send, but don't have a printer. I can't seem to find a courier that doesn't need me to have a printer. Any tips?

With parcel force you don't always need a printer. It's one of the more expensive couriers though.

Thank you. I looked into it and you're right, it's way more expensive than the others, which will put buyers off I reckon. I might just do it as 'collection only'.

I save it to a memory stick and print it out at the library the label that is. Save it to your documents then save to a memory stick. It costs me 10p a sheet but worth it to keep the cost sdown on larger parcels.
Hope this helps :)
I have used myhermes and collect plus with no problem saving the label.

Thanks Snowball, seems to make sense. Is the label you're printing out the address or the postage bit? (i.e. do you need to wait until the bidding has finished before getting it printed off?)

You need to wait till you know the buyers address.

I think most libraries let you use the computers for free (for half an hour) you only pay to print.

You wait until the auction is finished and you have the buyers address.
You buy the label / postage/ service and they send you an e-mail or tell you you to to print the page. you save that page or open your e-mail at the library and print the label off which will have the address and the barcode / postage that you have you bought for the courier and stick that to your parcel.
My library its free for an hour and 10p per black and white print out.

hope that helps :)

city link do not require printer but their prices start at about £8 so only really viable above 2kg, but otherwise book courier online then go to your email to library and print label it is the barcode that is the really necessary thing
