Frequently Asked Questions about Pitney Bowes Postage Meters

    Why Should I use a Postage Meter?
There are several reasons why almost any company should use a postage meter:
  • Small businesses that use a postage meter can save up to 20% a year in postage
  • Never put too much postage on a letter or package - calculate postage exactly - no more overstamping
  • Save time and labor costs on inconvenient trips to the post office
  • Metered mail may arrive up to a day earlier
  • Small businesses that use metered mail are up to 18% more productive than those that don't (based on a study of 8.5 million small businesses)

How do I save Money if I Pay for the Postage Meter?
Great question. There are many ways you will save including direct postage costs (by avoiding over stamping):
  • Overstamping can cost you 20% more, on average, than using the correct postage
  • Trips to the post office cost time, wages and gas. You can reload any of these meters from your office

Do I Own the Meter?
Under federal law, individuals and companies cannot own postage meters. They are rented and used with postage refilling services such as those from Pitney Bowes.
