Stamps.com is a website that allows users to print postage stamps from their own computer to use own mail being sent throughout the world. The website also offers packaging, package slips, tracking for customers to track their orders, and other postage solutions. Stamps.com offers mailing solutions for small office mailers, online sellers, warehouse shippers, and corporations. Stamps.com uses USPS for postage and gives users access to all classes and services. Stamps.com also lets users schedule free USPS package pickups from their own computer at home to avoid any trips to the post office at all. When beginning service with Stamps.com, there is a free 4-week trial period and they will give you $5 in free postage to use. Stamps.com is a great option if you need postage for your online business, small business, or even a big corporation. Stamps.com offers convenient solutions for any person who is too busy, or just doesn't feel like, going to the post office to package items, purchase and apply postage stamps or package slips, and drop them off to be mailed out. Even though the $15.99 per month price tag is a little steep, for everything you get with the service it isn't the worst thing to pay. Stamps.com provides a free scale to measure packages at home so that you are never guessing how much postage you need to buy and pay more. Stamps.com also lets you set up a time with USPS to pick up the packages so you don't have to spend more valuable time standing in the post office line. Stamps.com does offer customer service if there is ever an issue with the software but that customer service can be hit or miss. If you're looking to cancel they can really give you a hard time but if you keep firm and direct they'll terminate the service, and if you're within the 4-week trial period when you cancel you won't be charged at all.
