"10 lb postage meter scalesemi-automatic or automatic feederWe would like to try and downgrade our postage machine to something that is sleeker and not quite so bulky, but still allows us the ability to keep as many of the same features that we currently have."
-- Accounting/Finance, Health Care, Albany, CA

"Would like something i can send a stack of envelopes through to quickly stamp. We are not at high volume yet but we are geting there. price is a concern so maybe starting off with a smaller, less feature oriented machine to save some money until a faster one is needed. the stack of envelopes to be sent through is a must. i can't justifie the price if someone has to stand there and hand feed each one in. it would make more sence to just do a stamps online printing, with their free scale.thanksSteven."
-- Marketing/Public Relations, Insurance, Capistrano Beach, CA

"At this time the bulk of our mailings will be postcards. We will have a minimal amount of envelopes. We are not familiar with the benefits of having an intergrated or seperate scale."
-- CEO/President/Owner, Other Business Services, Knoxville, TN

"We will be sending approx. 500 letters per month but it is all at one time not spread out in the month. we send standard letters mostly. we usually buy about 4 rolls or so of stamps every month and just need to update so that we can get mail out faster than if we keep doing it by hand. The mail we send out is monthly billing and the occasional late fee billing. i have no idea how standard or customized of a machine i will need but i do have a basic idea of what is needed here in the office."
-- Office Manager, Other Business Services, El Cajon, CA

-- Facilities/Operations, Non-Profit, Salisbury, NC

"We do most of our shipping through UPS and then use FedEx as a back up. Do you have a system that is compatible with general USPS postage and UPS or FedEx? Can we purchase USPS postage through the meter system? Do we have the options of leasing or purchasing this unit? Do you have a free trial period that you offer small businesses? In addition, is there a specific length of time we would be required to carry the contract? Does this system require a phone line and if so does it have to be designated line used only by the postage meter? Are there any meter that are free that would just require us to purchase postage through them?"
-- Office Manager, Other Business Services, Spokane, WA
