Entering Chinese characters at USPS.com

This is a tip, not a question.  I needed to ship to China and found I could not enter any Chinese characters into Ship-N-Click on the USPS website (not even for the company name).  USPS regular services are delivered by China post and we can't assume English literacy among the delivery person!

I was able to get the same label to include Chinese characters by buying the same service via shipgooder.com .  The rate was lower also.

Thanks! This is good to know - in the past, on the very rare occasions that I could not copy and paste the foreign address for a label, I would print in English, but ALSO print a label (actually cut from a sheet of standard paper and fastened with clear tape) from Word and affix it along side the English label.  Never had an issue with it, and it also works well if you have an address that is too many lines or characters for the printed label.
