Favorites allow you to save shipment configuration settings so you can then apply all of the saved settings with a single click. With Favorites, you can save as many or as few shipment details as needed, including what to print on, weight, service, insurance amount, and more. There is even an option to save the Ship To address if it is an address you ship to frequently.
Favorites are similar to using Order Presets but are available for configuring NetStamps, envelopes, and labels. For Stamps.com Online, Favorites are available when using the MAIL tab.
Save a Favorite with Insurance
If you frequently ship items worth more than the carrier's default loss/damage coverage, create a favorite that includes the insurance coverage amount. This way, you’re sure your valuable shipments are always covered in case of loss or damage.
