Stamps.com

Kommentare: In addition be being an author, I also have a home office in which I do legal typing for attorneys in solo practices, which generates A LOT OF PAPER and correspondence. Stamps.com has consistently saved me time, money, gasoline, and having an horrific meltdown from standing in line at the post office. I'm sure other post office customers are relieved also.

Vorteile: It's quite easy to use, ordering supplies is simple and they arrive within a couple of days at the most. I especially like being able to print mail on either blank stamps or envelopes, and if necessary, print out parcel post mailing labels. It's also very helpful with keeping an online "meter" of my funds balance and allowing for instantly adding to my funds without having to leave the page. This program is one of the best time savers I use.

Nachteile: I use two different printers: an inkjet for printing individual stamps and a laser printer for printing the postage on envelopes, so I have to be careful to make sure the correct printer is indicated for the proper function. Not much of a problem, though, and everything else far outweighs this minor annoyance.

Kommentare: Customizing shipping labels and tracking emails lends credibility to our small business.

Vorteile: It is a simple and comprehensive solution for shipping. It's easy to customize shipping labels for your business. Grabbing a refund is simple to do, although it takes a while.

Nachteile: The USPS pick-up feature seems easy but has never resulted in an actual pick up. Likely not STAMPS fault. Printing from other computers is a pain. I wish we could customize the shipped email depending on the sender's address. As I ship as multiple businesses, the messaging should change.

Kommentare: This is a great software to use for day to day mailings in small businesses. We can print our own stamps at the office and no longer need to make trips to the post office for supplies.

Vorteile: They send you a free scale and automatically calculate the cost of stamps for you. They also have a store for purchasing supplies integrated into the system interface.

Nachteile: Can't think of anything really. This system is pretty simple and easy to use! I guess the only thing that would have been better was if the free scale could weigh heavier items.

Kommentare: Ease of batch printing. Multi-platform. Ease of international postage.

Vorteile: Seems to work well overall. Import of orders rarely fails. Works well with several platforms. Easy enough to learn and to teach to employees. Easy international shipping.

Nachteile: The inability to control the high ink use which also means SLOW printing. They say it is required by post office, but PayPal, eBay and Amazon do not require high ink print for postage printed from their websites. Accidentally close the program? Guess what? You just lost your ability to reprint any failed stamps. It is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. I can go back to eBay and Amazon at any reasonable length of time from the first printing of the stamp and REPRINT. I don't have to worry about accidentally closing the program or a power failure. Also, why can't we use the program at the same time as our employees? There should be multiple log-ins available. eBay is now offering a FREE multi-platform shipping service and I am looking into it. However, you guys do have very good customer service and I really wonder if eBay can match that.

Kommentare: It has made office life so much easier. Not having to go to the post office, being able to print my own stamps and have the Postal worker just pick up my packages/letters daily.

Vorteile: LOVE that i don't have to go to the post office. LOVE the fact that i can ship anything and print my own postage for it. LOVE that is saves me time, money, effort....

Nachteile: NOTHING!! This software is easy to use, has numerous options, and inexpensive! If there is anything bad about this...i haven't found it yet!
