Postage Meter- Pitney Bowes

Does anyone use a Pitney Bowes meter? Do they charge you for postage uploads, if so how much?
Any other hidden charges I might not know about before I sign up?
Thanks
Pat

I'm not sure about postage uploads, but imo, Pitney Bowes charges too much for service fees. We had that several years ago here at work and I think we were paying almost $100 quarterly! I have since swithced to Stamps.com and it's great...it's way cheaper than Pitney Bowes too. I do everything online, from printing stamps to buying postage.

Now maybe they have changed, but like I said it's been many years since we used them.

We had them and they were way too expensive. The first year you can rent the meter for something like $19.95 then it goes to $23.95 or something close to that. Any time you add postage to the machine they charge you a fee. So if you don't want to add enough postage to last a month or two it is not worth it IMO.

I used to use them and quit YEARS ago. Then I used Stamps.com and they are good but then I switched to paypal and it's free plus free delivery confirmation https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ship-now is the direct link.

You can get an inexpensive digital scale on eBay or in kitchen dept of Walmart (?). 5 pounds is generally enough since packages over that can be weighed on the bathroom scale and ounces no longer matter.

I use the same link as Smurf linked to at PayPal. I use for everything from personal to Half.com to Amazon shipments.
