Right, I've looked through this.  It basically has a couple of third party
services you can print labels through like Stamps.com, Pitney, Endicia, etc.
But I have no problem generating shipping labels -- I guess I was unclear.

The problem I'm having is generating the tracking labels -- we have bulk
postage paid.

Anyone have experience with this?  Hey, who knows, maybe I'm barking up the
wrong tree.  But none of the vendors I yakked with could tell me how to do
this without going to a third party payment solution.
