Getting started

To start using Stamps.com, all you need is an internet connection, a printer and our exclusive software. In just minutes, you’ll have all the postage services of the Post Office right on your desktop. Here’s how it works…

1. Connect to Stamps.com.

Our software will connect you via the Internet to your Stamps.com Postage Account. When you print postage, the postage amount will be deducted from your account. There’s never a surcharge. You just pay a low monthly fee of to use the service and its many time- and money-saving features. That’s far less than you’d spend in time-consuming trips to the Post Office or on expensive postage meters.

2. Input or choose an address from your address book.

Stamps.com imports delivery addresses automatically from your MS Outlook, QuickBooks and many other popular address books and contact management software. You can add or edit addresses anytime. You can even print postage directly from MS Word, Outlook and Corel WordPerfect.

3. Weigh the package using your 5 lb. digital scale.

Use the Stamps.com 5 lb. digital scale to accurately weigh your envelopes or packages – you’ll never overpay or underpay for postage again! The scale connects directly to your PC and integrates seamlessly with the Stamps.com software. If you need to weigh heavier packages, you can upgrade to our 25 lb. scale anytime.

4. Instantly calculate and print your exact postage.

Stamps.com calculates and prints the exact postage amount on standard labels, envelopes or plain paper. In addition, Stamps.com will give you an estimate of the delivery time of all available USPS services, so you can choose the most cost-effective mail class based on your needs. Stamps.com uses the USPS database to validate your delivery address to ensure fast, accurate delivery. Stamps.com can even send an email to the recipient to inform them that the package is on its way.

5. Send it off.

Simply apply your Stamps.com postage to your mailpiece, and either hand your letters and packages to your Postal Carrier, schedule a USPS pick up, drop them at the Post Office (without standing in line) or put them in a mail collection box. Plus, when a package of 13 oz. or more displays postage printed from Stamps.com, the USPS allows you to bypass the 13 oz. limit restriction and drop it right in a mail collection box!

6. Track packages and view history.

Stamps.com automatically keeps a detailed record of the postage you print. This makes it easy for you to review your postage spending or to print a report for your files. And, with Stamps.com “one-click package tracking,” there is no need to type long tracking numbers to verify your package delivery.
