I hate Stamps.com's redundancies

I forget how long it's been like this... I think about 2 years or so. When you import ebay orders, the dumb software goes thru the loading process twice in order to just import your orders once. After you see the loading bar complete itself once, you see another loading bar pop up and loads it again saying "Retrieving orders from marketplace."

 

Super annoying and wastes time every day. Plus the corrections you make on the addresses that need your attention has to be done a 2nd time as well when it "retrieves orders from marketplace." It totally reminds me of that scene in Office Space when additional loading bars pop up before the guy shuts his computer down.

 

Any tips on how to fix this on my end?

I can't help you with double download thingy, it confused me when it first started but it only adds a few extra seconds to the order retrieval process.

 

As far as the corrections, you can adjust your settings so that the corrections are done automatically without the need for your approval.

When I load high volume it adds a few minutes to mine. I've done that with multiple computers, so I know it's not the computer that's lagging. I know I can do that for the corrections, but there's times their standardization is way off. I've seen it change to a totally different (incorrect) address. Can't trust it entirely... it'll create INRs that I'll lose on.
