BX progress, or not

All the BX parcels are ready to go, but I have encountered an
obstruction in that the US post office no longer accepts boxes with
stamps on them; they have to have official mailing labels for which one
has guaranteed that no hazardous materials are enclosed. Since every
order that includes even a single bulb has to be put in a little box
rather than a padded mailer, I can't imagine what a catastrophe it would
be to haul about 60 tiny boxes into the post office and expect a clerk
to type up labels for each of them. Does anybody out there have access
to a way to generate labels with postage on them? I have a USPS
Click&Ship account but it only works for Priority Mail, and these are
First Class. I tried another website for buying postage, but it does not
work on my browser, and I don't want to try to install an entirely new
one. And yes, the BX has a stamps.com account, but it requires a special
printer, which I do not have. I do have a document with all the
addresses on it, and I could write the weight of each little box by the
name and email it to someone who has the special printer, I suppose.

I will put stamps on the mailers, which contain orders that were just
for seeds, and get them off this week.
