Save Money When You Print Postage Online
Dymo, the company that makes those lovely label printers, has teamed up with Endicia to allow us all to print postage online from our PC's. This frees us from the need to stand in line at the local Post Office and offers the convenience of stamps on demand.
One would think that to print postage online, all you would need is a computer, an internet connection, a Dymo printer, and a subscription to purchase postage from the Endicia website. Actually, that is in fact all you need - but there is one small detail that isn't explained in the literature that comes with your printer nor on the Endicia website.
If you have ever stood in line at the Post Office during the holidays you can relate to the delight of thinking you never have to do so again. Purchase a Dymo printer, subscribe to the Endicia website, and your on your road to postage independence. It's quick and easy to set up and your first hundred stamps makes you glow with delight as you drive by the Post Office knowing you never have to stop there again.
You will find it very satisfying to print postage online. The ability to bypass these things in life that slow us down like the Post Office is what technology is all about. Suddenly however, you find you need more blank stamps. You go to the Dymo or Endicia links to purchase more. That's when your jaw hits the floor. They want $20.49 for a roll of 200 stamps. THAT'S MORE THAN $.10 PER STAMP!!! Did you imagine in your wildest dreams that it would cost you 25% more to print your own stamps? Of course not.
I dug around on the web and found nothing. There was absolutely no one offering blank media for this printer. I was dumbfounded that to print postage online, I was hostage to these outrageous prices. I purchased more. Paid my $20 and grumbled the entire time I watched that roll get smaller.
I bought my second roll. For some reason it annoyed me even further. I just couldn't justify paying what is now actually $.51 per stamp just because I decided to walk down this technological path with Dymo. So, I rebelled. I researched the technical standards required to create these labels and decided that as my business grew and I consumed ever increasing quantities of these stamps, I could get a rapid return on my investment to purchase the dye and contract with a company that has the machinery already in place to manufacture these stamps for me.
After investing in the dye and manufacturing process to meet my own ends, I decided to share my savings with the rest of the world who I'm sure was having the same frustration as myself. With manufacturing costs, packaging, and offering free shipping, I can still sell these for less than 1/3 the cost that I had been paying.
We manufacture our stamps in rolls of 300 stamps per roll. If you do the math, that means we sell 33% more stamps for 50% less than our competition!!!!
So if you want to print postage online, know that people are out there always searching for a better, less expensive way to meet those ends. The savings are always passed along to the consumer as that's the American Way.
