If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

You are really supposed to use a label that is at least 4" by 6" because if you make the barcode too small the postal machines may have trouble scanning it. Here is one article on the subject. Because of this I bought a zebra printer even though I already had a Brother-QL700 (the model you linked) lying around the house.

That being said I believe there are those that use smaller labels without any issues (I received a package a couple of weeks ago with a label the same size as my Brother labels).

You also want to make sure the software you are using supports the printer you are buying.
