Postage Groups
Address labels get purchased in groups:
* Patronizers – these books are made out to individual supporters by name, regardless of destination – MWL hand-maintains this spreadsheet because there's so few of them.
* Overseas sponsors – buying postage requires filling out custom forms online
* Domestic sponsors
* Overseas Kickstarter backers
* Domestic KS backers
* Domestic KS backers who chose bundles like The Full Michael
* Possibly complicated by people who receive extra books or extra copies, which I only offer when I'm an idiot and forget that I have to track who gets what instead of shipping a bunch of identical packages.
Each group gets its own spreadsheet. Take the KS backer spreadsheet, cut it into foreign & domestic. Save them as CSV.
Pack one book in a padded envelope. Weigh it. Note the weight.
Buying Overseas Postage
Log into goshippo.com shipping app.
See if there's a predefined package of the right weight. There probably is.
Set the default package to 6x9x1 and the weight.
Log out. Restart the browser window.
Log back into goshippo. When we order postage, the default package should now be assigned to every package. (It doesn't always work. It's supposed to.)
Go to Upload CSV. Load the CSV we're working on.
Choose the right import template. There's one for Kickstarter and one for sponsors.
Let goshippo map field names.
