Hi,
1. What changed: free tracking on TCGplayer envelopes
From Monday, Nov 2, TCGplayer prints a free USPS tracking barcode on the packing slip for orders of $49.99 or less that ship in a single #10 window envelope to a verified U.S. address. It rolls out over the week; every seller has it by Friday, Nov 6. You still pay for the stamp. After at least one USPS facility scan, the order gets extra protection against "not received" claims. It is not delivery confirmation: scans aren't guaranteed, and "Out for Delivery" is usually the last one.

2. Tip: print it right, or the barcode won't scan
- Use the new Orders page and pick "packing slip with tracking".
- Print on plain 8.5 x 11 paper at 100% (actual size), 300 dpi or more. Don't shrink it onto a 4x6 label.
- Letter-fold it (bottom third up, top third down) into a #10 window envelope (4 1/8 x 9 1/2 inches) so the address and barcode show.
- Your own or a third-party packing slip can't carry the barcode.

3. New in TCG Speed Shipper: both kinds in one run
Upload your Export Shipping file, then add TCGplayer's packing slip PDF. The tracked slips come out untouched, as full pages in their own file, and labels are made only for your other orders. Tracked slips don't use any of your labels. Also new this week: packing mode for your phone, free reprints of recent batches, and Shopify order files. tcgspeedshipper.com/
