In the 'good old days,' a stamp was a stamp, but to others stamps created intrigue.
When life was simple, stamps were only as far away as a short walk to the Post Office. Those days seem long ago and incredibly different from the hustle and bustle of today. But one thing remains the same, stamps whether for collecting or use are still intriguing to many.
Despite being more accessible, stamps are not easier to get these days.
Here’s why:
Truth is most of us don't send enough formal mail to use the stamps up before the rate changes, which nowadays feels like they are coming more frequently than ever before. Stamps make many of us "Go Postal," and we hate it! So, let's take a look at some alternatives that can solve our problem from home or office.
ABOUT ELECTRONIC STAMPS
Described by Marvin Runyon, a former Postmaster General, as "available, on-call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week," electronic stamps first came to market around 2003-2004. Stamps.com is one organization that today is still thriving. While the premise is similar to their competition – cutting down on trips to the Post Office, saving money when compared to postal meters like Pitney Bowes, making mail look professional, never overposting (overpaying for postage) and on demand printing choices— Stamps.com allows the customization of postage. If you want to commemorate the birth of a child, a special day or just share an image of your family, pet or favorite vacation moment, this online monthly subscription service makes it super easy.
CREATION OF DYMO STAMPS
Dymo recognized the need for a no-fee based service and provides Dymo Stamps as a utility for the users of their Dymo LabelWriter 400 Turbo, LabelWriter 400 Twin Turbo, LabelWriter Duo, LabelWriter 450, LabelWriter 450 Turbo and LabelWriter 450 Twin Turbo. Designed with the small business owner in mind which likely does not care about personalization, the system manages letters and packages based on a no fee model – no monthly fee, no long term commitments, no hidden charges.
Endicia, now owned by Newell Rubbermaid, the parent company of Dymo, is marketing a more upscale solution focused on small to medium business (SMB) and supports envelopes to 70 pound packages. Offering a variety of postage choices and options, Endicia also recognizes that sometimes UPS (United Parcel Service) or FedEX (Federal Express) are better choices for your parcels. They compare costs and transit times so you can make decisions, not guesses. The Standard, Premium, Mac, Professional and Platinum Shipper programs have pretty much every function and feature you could want including free downloads of scale reading utilities like InstaRate. For their consumer base who wants to put their images on stamps, Picture It Postage is a great service although a bit costly in my opinion.
Years ago, buying Stamps was simple. You went to the US Post Office in your community, asked for a roll of stamps, paid for them and went home. Now we have even more choices. Choices that blend technology and service and are sure to save us time while providing great value.

As a user of Dymo Stamps software we
wanted to share this information which we received from our friends
at Endicia – the administrator of Dymo Stamps services for the USPS.
The U.S. Postal Service®, through PC
Postage® vendors like Endicia®, provides customers with access,
ease and convenient postage solutions. The USPS takes every step possible
to ensure PC Postage customers follow specific guidelines for printing
postage.
Unfortunately, the Postal Service® has identified a serious issue with
shortpaid or unpaid postage on packages using PC Postage. Shortpaid
postage results from not applying enough postage to the mail piece.
It is usually the result of incorrect weight or package dimensions.
Occasionally, unpaid postage is also the result of counterfeiting, replicating,
duplicating, or otherwise modifying PC Postage labels or indicia.
The Postal Service is increasing their efforts to identify shortpaid
and unpaid postage accounts and to recover lost revenue. Please be aware
that:
1) Mailing an item with shortpaid or unpaid postage may result in your items being delivered with postage due or returned to you.
2) Insufficient payment for items with shortpaid or unpaid postage may be deducted from your postage account.
3) An account, with a negative balance that is not resolved within 10 days notification to you, may be suspended, upon the request by the USPS, from further activity until the deficit is resolved.
4) Significant quantities of shortpaid
or unpaid items will be referred to the United States Postal Inspection
Service® for possible criminal investigation.
To ensure timely delivery of your items, customers are reminded not
to short-pay, duplicate, replicate, or otherwise modified PC Postage
indicia or labels and to ensure the weight of the item matches the weight
claimed.
Sincerely,
The Endicia Team
