Office Postage Solutions

[reckedracing]

So currently we send someone to the post office almost everyday to send out tax returns etc.

I'm looking into a diffrent solution that might be more cost effective.

2 Choices are
Pitney Bowes Postage meter
or stamps.com

anyone have experience with either one?

so a pitney bowes rep suggested this machine
Small Office Postage Meter - Post Perfect | Pitney Bowes

at 25 bucks a month
then each ink cartridge is 50 bucks and does approx 2100 impressions
postage can be printed directly on envelopes, but if you are mailing a package you need to print it on labels, which cost 45 bucks for 300

they give you a scale, and a chart, so you weigh each piece, figure out the postage, then enter it into the machine to get the postage

and everytime you need to add postage to your machine it costs you 10 bucks

and you get to sign up for a one year contract

what a shitty deal

btw, you know stamps are going up to 41 cents? what a crock of shit!!

but onto your question, try the postage meter. that way you will know if you have the correct postage or not on your pisece of mail you are going to send out.

yea, i read that when postage rates change they charge you to update your software, so i asked if they charged and they said no, we send you a new chart... wtf

but onto your question, try the postage meter. that way you will know if you have the correct postage or not on your pisece of mail you are going to send out.

we already have a scale and you can calculate postage free on usps.com
and the post office calculates and prints postage for free in the office
