Is using Stamps.com a good deal?

My initial impression is positive but the real question is whether I am going to be able to use it enough to reach the $15. per month requirement for the pro account. If I use this for the office I will save a lot of time and effort by using this program. The software is fairly flexible and will allow you to quickly address and create the required postage stamp to mail the packages and large envelopes of data that I send out all week long.

The package came by US Postal service and came in a small box containing a scale with a USB cable to connect to your computer, a program cd, some sample stamp and label sheets, $5 worth of postage, and instructions on how to setup and use the product.

How does Stamps.com make money? By selling you the supplies of course. You can get anything from the labels in different sizes and formats, envelopes in different styles and formats and USPS shipping boxes. The prices for these products aren’t exorbitant but they are not the cheapest products that you can find either. The big thing to remember here is how much more convenient this is compared to having to hoof it to the post office to basically due this same thing. If you have been using one of the many other choices out there that rents you the certified postage meters you will see that this is another area that you will save a lot of money on the monthly fees associated with this service.

The big questions I am going to have to answer for myself is whether I am going to take this into the office to keep at my desk or if I will hoard it at home to be used from there instead. It may even become part of my traveling bag. We’ll just have to see who will win out!
