Pros: convenience, no hardware, reasonable fees
Cons: misprinted envelopes could cost you
In considering the eCommerce revolution (i.e. eBay, online specialty stores, etc.), shipping stuff is becoming more of a daily ritual for most, sending home made goods to Internet customers, sending auctioned products, anything and everything is being...

Pros: Innovative idea.
Cons: Expensive, Unethical, and Impractical.
I just cancelled my stamps.com account after taking them up on their free trial period. Stamps.com is one of a growing list of three private corporations licensed by the US Postal Service to distribute "Internet Postage," also known as...

Pros: stamps 24 hours a day
Cons: need to purchase special labels
My husband suggested I check into one of two online post office type sites, one of these was stamps.com and the other was estamp.com.
The reason I choose to try stamps.com was that they offered $25 worth of free postage and one month service...

Pros: Convenience, quality envelopes
Cons: New rate, have to be online to use
I got an offer for free postage to try, so I did. I've used postage meters before, and while they're nifty, they are WAY to expensive for the benefit. I don't need the postage locked up - I trust the people in my office - and while it's nice to be able...

Pros: very misleading "free" postage offer
Cons: hard-to-use software, monthly fee even when you don't use the software, hard to cancel the account because this process involves steps that an average user wouldn't think of on his or her own
I fell into the trap of the $25 free postage offer this past winter. I guess I should have been more cautious when reading the terms of the offer because the $1.99 per month minimum service fees begin to add up over time. Later on in this review I will...

Pros: Convenient, Fast, Easy
Cons: More expensive than buying stamps
I've been using stamps.com for a couple of months. Getting started is not instantaneous, but it's pretty easy. Because you're printing stamps like a meter, you must apply for a postage license. Getting approved was accomplished within a matter of...

Pros: free to try, convenient, good support
Cons: service fees, no printing on window envelopes.
Stamps.com is what the internet is all about -- convenience and time-saving. The best parts of Stamps.com:
-- Sign up bonus can include $50 of postage AND a free digital scale if you sign up for the "power user" account.

As and active mass mailer and shipper I was immediately attracted to Stamps.com for my business. We regularly complete mass mailings of hundred of pieces and have found this product to be god-sent.
The account setup is extremely easy. To...

Pros: affordable, easy to use service, reliable
Cons: must be connected to the internet to print postage
I originally signed up with Stamps.com because of the free $25 postage offer. I chose them over Estamps because Estamps (at least at that time) had a $50 setup fee.
The software for this service is easy to download and setup. On initial use,...

Pros: Free Trial, Free Postage, Convenience, Ease of use.
Cons: Customer service needs work.
Stamps.com - one of the founders of the Internet postage phenomenon, is still by far the easiest way to print postage from home. It aint cheaper than going to the post office and buying stamps but it's a must have for heavy postage users (ie. online...

Let me summarize the main problems I experienced with them:
1. Could not connect to their service at all, probably...

Pros: Customer service
Cons: Not available (yet) for international postage
I was intrigued by the invitation to try Stamps.com while I was browsing the internet. The very thought of avoiding long lines at the post office was enticing enough, and coupled with the fact that I was starting my writing career finally and needed a...

Pros: mail directly from home, print postage on your printer, no long post office lines
Cons: letter mail is 44 cents rather than 33 cents - refnds on misprinted postage is tedious
I don't remember when I signed up but one day I opened my mail to receive a CD Rom and some information about STAMPS.COM.
I mail approximately $10-$20.00 worth of postage from my home selling on ebay. The one thing I complained about before I...

Pros: no more going to the post office
Cons: need a cc card
If you’re tired of going down to the post office every time you want to get some postage, Stamps.com offers an easy alternative. E-stamp is another alternative (discussed in its own separate Epinion). After registering at Stamps.com, you request software...
