Lob is working well for batched or scheduled jobs where timing isn't as critical. For items that need to be sent quickly, it's still faster to manually produce.

It is extremely convenient to be able to print postage from your desk in a snap of a finger. The main issue I encounter is when you work in an office with several employees, you have the possibility of being kicked off if there are too many people logged in at once

Although Pitney Bowes offers more postage carriers than Stamps.com, Stamps.com provides a more simpler interface. If you mostly ship via UPS or USPS, Stamps.com ultimately seems to provide a more cost efficient option for your postage which in the long run can save your business more money
