I am considering using SimplyPostage.com to help streamline my shipping, but am also looking at a number of other solutions too. Stamps.com and also maybe a Pitney-Bowes solution. I like the idea of simplypostage and having a scale in my house I can do all the stuff myself on. I am just wonderign if anyone out there has used any of these services and which one is best. Heck, anything that saves me from standing in line at the post office is worth every penny!!!!
Any thoughts on these postage solutions?

You may also want to investigate Endicia.com
You can use any type of label on your regular printer, but you have to provide your own scale. It's a bit cheaper than simplypostage and their customer service is very good.

I've used simplypostage for over 6 months now and love it. I tried another one prior and was very unhappy with what they offered. Endicia looks nice but I still think it is a lot of work for the little bit you save money wise.
Simplypostage...the scale is very small and sits right by my computer for easy use when I need it. The minimal cost per month has saved me a lot of money. The replacement labels are very cheap and easy to load in the meter. The customer service is supperb too! Simply postage seems to be the preferred choice of most ebay sellers who do not use ups. The other postage site choices leave to much room for postage errors yet for my liking. With simplypostage it weights your item for you and you then select the maling type which includes a lot of choices for shipping. You can print postage up to 5 days ahead too which is a great time saver on weekends. You are sent automatic simply postage software updates when relevant too. My local post office recommends simplypostage and frowns on the others offered because of the messed up postage they get so often.
Hope this helps. I guess it comes down to personal preferences when selecting a postage site to use. Just remember...they all sound good on a web page but not all of them meet what they promise. Simply postage does.

I just started with Simply Postage about 2 weeks ago and WOO-WEE (as they say in Tennessee) I love it. So simple to use. Weighs packages, no room for error. I use the USPS.com to print my labels to get the free Delivery Confirmation. Packages look so professional. I am also able to drop packages off after hours at the post office in the Blue boxes out front which helps on days when you can't get there by the time they lock door, but you can make the box outside. Also great for weekend drop off's. Also printing postage ahead helps too. It is well worth the cost!!!!!!
