    I've seen a few of these FTs where someone is just looking to clear out the cellar and is giving away beer for free, but just asks that a shipping label is emailed. My question is, how do you do that?

    I am not super tech or computer savvy, so I am not sure what to do once I create my label. It appears my only option is to print it. Do I have to print it and then scan it and then email it? Or is there an easier way?

    You can print as a PDF file and then email it.

    There are many ways to do it, but the easiest way is to screen grab it and save as a PDF. You can either capture the whole screen and crop it, or just use one of a billion programs out there that let you capture a selectable area of the screen.

    Alternatively, if you trust the person you can just give them your Fedex # and they can bill to it directly. (Note I probably wouldn't do this for a random LIF, but if you ever have a friend/family send you something, or a trustee, etc, it makes it pretty easy)

    Thanks. I've given people my FedEx # before and that's easy, but I don't necessarily want to make that a common practice if there is an easier way.

    I'll try poking around to figure out how to do this. I tried "Copy Image" and then pasting it into a word file, but that didn't work.

    And then when I tried to save the image as a pdf that it didn't work either. I'm pretty dumb when it comes to computers.

    That worked! Never new it was so easy, thanks!
