With the advantage of elminating the walk to the postal office and waiting on a long line. Stamps.com also has cheaper price for delivery confirmation. Overall, the service is great except you cant pay as you go, that's the only downside for me at least.</p>...

Although most of my orders were shipping out domestically, an increase in orders from the UK and Japan made me rethink my shipping options.</p>&#13; <p>I chose Stamps.com online postage because it lets me print First-Class International postage, unlike Paypal, which I was using before since most of my sales come from Ebay. I really like to be able to print all of my postage at once rather than take individual packages to the post office (it really saves time). In addition to First-Class International, Stamps.com also can print postage for Priority Mail International and Express Mail International. My customers enjoy choosing their shipping, and Stamps.com lets me help them do this. The software also lets you print customs forms.</p>&#13; <p>Additionally, Stamps.com offers shipping discounts that USPS the post office and Paypal don't. Domestically, I save up to 11 percent on Priority Mail, 5 percent on Express Mail and between...</p>...

One of the biggest surprises was how much time we spent dealing with postage and mail. Our clerks used to hoard certified mail forms that they took from USPS, spend time filling them out for about 100 pieces of mail and then driving them over to USPS. It still took up an extra hour a day that they could have been spending doing other things. After some trial and error in reassigning certified mail duties, our firm started researching postage meters that could print certified mail. In January, we  signed-up for Stamps.com, which allows us to print out one form using the office printer and attach labels as necessary before taking the items to the post office.<br/><br/>      Stamps.com also offers return receipt service, which we use all of the time because our document are sensitive. The clerks had trouble getting the labels to print properly on our printers at first (Stamps.com has proprietary forms for Certified...</p>...

Before my 4 week free trial was over I canceled my subscription. Stamps.com still charged my credit card. The only way I stopped the charges was by canceling my credit card....

For the average person, you should just buy your stamps at the post office or grocery store. However, for the small business owner who has a lot of things to mail, the monthly fee might actually be what you would otherwise spend on gas and the value of your time for trips to the post office. In addition to the monthly service fee, you also have to invest in printer ink (which, as they point out, is cheaper than postage meter ink) and labels, which you can purchase at an office supply store, or from Stamps.com directly. You also have to be very careful to load your labels in properly. If you make a mistake, then you lose the money you just paid for that postage. You can try the service out for free (but you need a credit card to do so), and they'll give you $5 in free postage to try it out.  The free software is easy to use and has lots of options, whether you're mailing envelopes......

Although they were more expensive than regular postage, I thought that it was worth it. We've used these for our Valentine's Day cards, Christmas cards, birth announcements and birthday party invitations. We got ours quicker than what they had said we would. The quality was very nice. Friends and family were surprised and elated to have that extra special touch on the mail that we sent them using these stamps. You can order them through websites such as mypoints.com and at least be getting points towards free gift cards when you order them....

They lure you in with promises of a free months' service and free postage, good luck getting either. It took a month of complaining to customer service for me to get just half of the promised postage, after that I decided to give up and cancel the service. At this point I was told that my credit card would be billed 15.99 for a third time.... thus eliminating the "free month" of service they promised. My advice, avoid Stamps.com like the plague!...

If you upload your own photos, make sure they are good quality because everyone you send this too will see them.  I also wonder if the recipients actually look at the stamps.  I know I do, so hopefully they do too.  This year I purchased a sheet of LSU Tigers stamps for a friend/relative who is also an LSU alumnus and will get her reaction when she gets these for Christmas....

The cost overall for using this service is expensive, but not extremely expensive.  The cost is worth it so that anyone can be creative and unique in snail mail that is sent to family and friends. I do not use the created stamps from Stamps.com for regular mailings for bills, etc. only for family and friends.  </p><p>I would recommend the easy use of Stamps.com to anyone.</p><p>Thanks from LAW in Texas</p>...

For me, this was a huge accomplishment. I wanted to send the cards with a personalized stamp, rather than the typical holiday offerings you might find at the post office. And a photo that my husband had snapped of our adorable two cats nestled into each other really fit the "not a creature was stirring" theme of the holiday. So I decided to visit stamps.com to order personalized stamps. <p><strong>About Stamps.com</strong><br/>Stamps.com is a service that allows you to print postage from home for a fee. Their standard service is quite useful for people who send large volumes of mail. In fact, when I was liquidating half of our last house and library of books through eBay and Half.com, I used the standard mail service at stamps.com and was pretty pleased with the experience.</p><p>The photo stamps are an additional Stamps.com service, available at http://photo.stamps.com or via a...</p>...
