Internet Postage Showdown – Click N Ship Vs Stamps.com

Feb 16, 2010 Postage Services

Where to buy online postage stamps? A quick search on Google search engine will reveal millions of related sites where you can grab all of the postage you need. HOWEVER, not all online postage stamp services are created equal. Some suck BIG time, others are average, and a few of them are outstandingly good. Right here, we will take a closer and better look at 2 of the best internet postage stamp sites that people from left, right, and center turn to whenever they are out of postage – Click N Ship and Stamps.com. Let’s take a closer look at both of them:

Internet Postage Showdown – Click N Ship Review
Anybody who has used the Click N Ship system can purchase and print out all of the postage stamps they need and all they need to have is an internet connection and a credit card. What’s nice about this online postage site is that signing up for them is free – no monthly charges, hidden fees, none whatsoever. All you have to do is pay for the postage that you have used.

When it comes to sending Priority Mail, Click N Ship is above average. It took me only a couple of minutes to set up my account with them. Printing prepaid postage for my packages and mails that I have to ship don’t take more than a minute!

Everything about this online postage site would have been good, except for one bad news – Click N Ship service is only available for printing postages for Express Mail, Priority Mail, Domestic Mailings, Global Express – in simpler terms, you could only use Click N Ship only on the expensive stuff. Bottom line – Click N Ship is good, BUT very limited. It’s OK for home use BUT small and home based business owners who need to ship out packages day in and day out.

Internet Postage Showdown – Stamps.com Review
I first heard about Stamps.com from a couple of people that I know. They were all giving it 2 thumbs up, saying that it’s a great service – saving them time and money that would have been wasted if you would go to the Postal Office each time you run out of postage stamps. I also learned a lot from a Stamps.com review. And when I got my Stamps.com software disk together with $25.00 worth of FREE postage, I knew I was in for a treat. There’s no way I could go wrong with it!

Before anything else, though, I would have to remind you that if you want to take advantage of Stamps.com’s service, you need a decent printer. Not exactly expensive BUT decent. So if your printer jams a lot, prints out of line, etc. you may want to grab or upgrade to a new one. Having bought a new HP inkjet printer, I know that I was on the safe side.

As for the Customer Service, it’s available ‘round the clock – 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They’re friendly and very eager to help out. HOWEVER, there are times that you need to do something on your own when something goes unplanned.Back then, I had a couple of postage stamps that were not printed correctly.

When that happens, all you need to do is fill out an online form and send it together with the partially printed postage stamp. They will even reimburse your expenses for shipping these documents to them! So far I don’t have a lot of problems with Stamps.com. I think I have found the online postage stamp service that I’m going to stay with for a long time to come.

Want to know more about this online postage service? Well, all you have to do is – you’ve guessed it, check out their website Stamps.com. I’m sure you will find a lot of nice things in there. So nice and sweet you would be tempted to sign up RIGHT away!
