Oh God, there's a special place in hell for stamps.com.
I did not read the fine print, but made the mistake of thinking that it was a partnership with USPS and did not incur extra fees (like a crazy $13 monthly fee, even if you're not using the service).
By the time I discovered that, I also discovered that you can sign up on line, but you have to cancel by phone (or "being on hold", I discovered it).
Seriously. Never stamps.com.
- Spooky23 10y agoI never understood why stamps.com existed. * Anything that isn't first class mail can be accommodated by USPS.com, Paypal and others. * If you mail enough letters to justify a label printer, you can get a better deal on a meter. * If you hate going to the post office, you can spend the same money that you spend on Stamps.com bullshit to buy a bunch of stamps from the post office, which are now good forever. My mom fell into this trap a few years ago. The easiest way to disengage: Use a good credit card like Amex. Call twice, hold for 60 seconds, hang up. Dispute the charge. Do this 2-3x.

Even PayPal does first class mail too! and they allow you to buy shipping for non-ebay packages too! And the rates are better than stamps.com. I too can't understand stamps.com other than to fool people who don't know better. I signed up for their free trial in order to get a $10 postage scale and cancelled right away. I got to talk to a human who tried to convince me why I needed it. I was like "ebay/paypal/amazon/usps are cheaper."
