for business users:

SmartStamp®, the online postage service that lets you print the postage you need 24/7. Never be stuck for postage again whatever the time of day or night with SmartStamp®.

i think the free trial period is 3 months.

Does that mean free postage or what ?

you have to open an account and put credit in to it before you can print stamps. Its not bad but in my case its quicker to go to the PO

well , really it isnt a freebie.

It costs £4.99 per month to open an account discount of two months free if you sign up for a year.
£4.99 per month = 21 & a half second class stamps just to use the service.
Sounds like a poor deal to me moneysavers!!!
Im now off to have a look at the free deal............

You're better off just printing your stamps online, without the software: http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/jump3?catId=400043&mediaId=26800663

Thanks for the link, though, OP.

it is a free trial for the software, of course u still need to pay the stamps.

it is intend for business users, not individuals. as it makes more sense for individual just walk down to post office.

it targets business users where companies need to handle large amount of mails, so it saves time and labour cost to sticking stamps (imagine companies have to pay someone to stick stamps on 200 envelope a day, minimum wages are more than £5 an hour), and companies save the hassle to use petty cash to buy stamps. it will save a substantial cost per year to have the envelope with stamps, logo, addresses printed out directly from computer.

therefore, this is a freebies for business users. :rolleyes:
