Internet Postage - Free Alternatives

If the volume and/or frequency of mail you send does not justify a professional level service provider there are several low cost alternatives available that do not require a monthly service charge. The downside is they all have some kind of restriction in the class of mail you can send.

Endicia No-fee
Endicia offer a no-frills service that will allow you to print official US postage stamps using special labels on your existing laser or inkjet printer.

DYMO Stamps
This free service is a actually a partnership between Dymo, the label printer manufacturer and Endicia. In order to sign up for this service you must have or purchase a new Dymo label printer.

USPS Click n Ship
The US Postal Service have their own system called 'Click n Ship' which is free to use and does not require a monthly maintenance fee. The downside is it only supports Express and Priority Mail class service. But if overnight and priority shipping is the norm for your business this could be a viable option for a small scale operation.

PayPal - ShipNow
Another option if you only need to send the odd package now and then is to make use of PayPal's ShipNow service. It's a web based program primarily designed for e-bay sellers, but with a little know how it can also be used to mail a non-e-bay package.

Whichever system you pick, once you get used to the convenience of printing your own postage you'll never go back to old way of doing things.
