    If you need mailing labels, Pirate Ship is cheap, very organized and creates SCAN forms for USPS

    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

    I have not had to use Pirate Ship's customer support because their product is wonderful and easy to use. I am sure based on the quality of their product that their customer service is also fantastic

    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
