Buying shipping in Bulk problem

Hello Sellers,

Buying shipping in Bulk is a big problem.

Due to VTR, I had to start buying shipping labels from Amazon.

I use the “Buy Shipping in Bulk” option but it's missing a crucial function, selecting several orders at a time. For example, I would like to select multiple orders at once to speed up the process of buying shipping labels, let's say I had 100 letters to send; I would like to click Buy shipping in Bulk, select all letters up to 100g, select 1st class , and non prohibited items , then “BUY NOW”, without having to change each order individually. Currently it takes about an average of 5-6 clicks to complete a single order, so for 100 orders I am doing around 500-600 clicks, which could definitely be shortened. Especially as the webpage will often crash during this tedious process and forces me to start all over again, extending this time even more. My business is going to be entering a very busy quarter soon and the current layout simply will not be suitable for the amount of orders i will need to buy shipping for, something that should take 5 minutes for a large amount of orders has the possibility of taking an hour or longer if the webpage crashes.

Does anyone have a way to fix this or a work around? Perhaps a plug-in that could introduce these basic and indispensable functions, or ease of use setting that will help save a lot of time?
