How do I print a return shipping label?

I've printed shipping labels right through the USPS website, although you will need to setup an account, it's painless. I typically then pay the shipping postage with my debit card. It then allows you to print right away. Be ready with shipping labels in the printer, it asks if label printed correctly or not, you then have to option to reprint if you printed the wrong side of the label. Ask me how I know that...
+1 been there done that too haha

Also, stay away from Stamps.com. I tried it last month and regretted it. The postage works alright, but then they sign you up for a plan where they take your money every month even if you don't use the service. And, you have to prepay in $10 increments. I found that out the hard way. I really had to argue with the "customer service" person to drop the plan and get my remaining money back. I know they advertise it on the radio, but it isn't legit. Just stay away from it.
Yesterday I got my box ready to send back to NPWDRL and used USPS instead. It was easier to use and there was no funny business. I know it's easy to criticize the government, and often they deserve it, but the Post Office actually got something right.

I don't look for a return shipping tab or any thing I just create another label with the my address and the destination and Johns as the return. Real easy because once you put in a address you can save it for future use.
Kenny, like Quicktime said, you are not selecting "make a return label" button or anything. You are creating a totally new label. This time it is just from John's to your place. Just select the latest ship date that you can, which is usually 3 days in advance. John will be shipping it later than that date, but the post office must not care.
does the ship date matter? If the date on the label is already past will the post office still take it?
I've always been curious how they know how much to charge? Do they just charge your card once it reaches the post office and is weighed?
I've been spoiled living so close, but I need to learn how to do this. I'll check out the site.

Once purchased that is it, no more fees. As you go through the USPS website to purchase your label, options appear and you just choose to match your package size and weight.
I found a ups store by me and they did everything. Even helped pack and tape it. Kinda spoiled now.
