I personally haven't decided if I want to go for it... what is holding
me back is the high cost of stickers. Right now I print addys on the
free prio sticky labels, has anyone tried printing stamps.com postage on
there too?

But if I use blank stickers, I burn a lot of stickers on it and they're
not cheap.

Actually you can't just print on plain paper or stickers, you have to use
special labels just for stamps.  The special labels have a pink band across

I got from eStamp yet, but when I do I'll have to order more from them.
I'm sure they will become more widely available eventually.

(...) Actually Rob you can print these on plain paper, or plain envelopes, #9, #10, #11, etc. The software has a built in address checker. It does print a barcode and the zip plus four for the corrected address. It has templates for various Avery (...) (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.shipping)

Not a bad offer and if Ben gets a spiff, that's great. However there are other offers out there. I think I saw one for 30 free and 1 month free. If you have TT already maybe you'll like that one... But TT is worth more than 10 if you don't have it (...) (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.shipping)
