Printing Postage 0 Why Stand In Line When It’s Easier Online

July 11th, 2008 -- Posted in Benefits of Printing postage online | No Comments »

Printing postage online has become the rule rather than the exception.  Have you ever tried to post a letter only to find that you are short a one or two cent stamp?  Frustrating, isn’t it?

There was a time when first class envelopes and packages only required postage depending upon size and weight.  Today, with the new rules and regulations issued by the Postal Service, it is a bit more complicated.

Thus, while buying a book of stamps may have once helped you to post first class mail for regular letter-sized envelopes (as long as they were within the weight category) you now have to weigh every piece of mail and determine its dimensions as well.  This would then require additional postage to be added, if necessary.  More often than not, you may not have the lower denomination of stamps on hand to affix to the envelope, and a trip to the post office would be required.
