    I used Stamps.com because another site I used emailed me, said I could track my package with it. The UI is horrendous, incredibly confusing, you try to Google what you need from it and even then it doesn't know what you want. I thought I was signing up for a free trial, but when I saw that it was actually a TWENTY DOLLAR monthly fee, I tried to cancel, which is even more of a hassle to do online. But guess what? You CAN'T cancel online, you CAN'T cancel your account, you click the button and quite literally nothing happens. The site itself is predatory, you can't go even a minute without it trying to shove a subscription down your throat. NEVER USE IT

    Stamps.com makes it far too easy to miss their monthly subscription fee. It's poorly disclosed, and they send zero email notifications or statements about it — even when there's no activity on the account. Yet every single postage purchase triggers an immediate confirmation email. How can they notify me for tiny purchases but not for charging me $20+ every month? I only noticed because I checked my credit card. Very deceptive billing practice. Had to contact support to finally cancel. Won’t use them again. SCAM! Watch your statements carefully.

      Absolute idiots. Repeatedly got changing dates for a package delivery. Then on a Friday I get a notice that my package was delivered at 1:15 pm.. Which it was not. Then two days later, on Sunday, it said the package would be delivered on Sunday. Then it said it would be delivered on Monday. Was not delivered on Monday, of course. Today, Tuesday, I filed a complaint with USPS. Too bad USPS are subcontracting with Stamps.Com. May or may not ever get my package - whatever it is. It should be the new Route 66 stamps.

      I used Stamps.com for years and then it went sour. There were site problems - where i couldn't even use site and had to go and manually print from usps.com. After much frustration - I decided to cancel account and get refund of 425.00 balance that was in my account. 1. You will receive in 4 to 8 weeks.(no refund). 2. You will received in 12 weeks(no refund). 3. They would not refund balance to my credit card (where money came from). 4. Called Credit card company and was in process of opening case. After a lot of STRESS, many phone calls, phone calls with "Managers", etc - I FINALLY RECEIVED A CHECK IN THE MAIL AFTER 4 MONTHS - after threatening a class action lawsuit. NEW CUSTOMERS BEWARE!!!!

      If I could provide ZERO stars, I would. This is the absolute worst company to deal with. Their system is faulty and does not work correctly. I have experienced numerous issues with their website and their app. They are constantly trying to find workarounds for several issues, but they are only temporary solutions. Working in IT myself, I have performed all troubleshooting (clearing cache & cookies), using different browsers, closing tabs, closing windows, going in incognito mode, and even tried using the app versus the website numerous times!!!

      Ultimately, you end up having to call them to get help, which only proves to be more wasted time because you end up speaking with a representative who doesn't know what they are doing and just ends up wasting much more of your time. They spend most of their time apologizing rather than addressing actual concerns or addressing the issue, or providing resolutions.

      This requires a callback from a supervisor for further assistance since the reps cannot assist with literally anything. They are literally on payroll just to answer phones, so you feel like you're going to get help, but they never actually provide any help. Representatives also constantly talk over you, so you have to constantly stop and repeat yourself, literally dozens of times; further delaying matters immensely.

      Then, when you are promised a supervisor will contact you within 2-4 hours, and you wait 5-6 hours with no callback, you call them to find out what is going on, only to learn the previous representative never submitted the callback request. Not to mention the other issues I have experienced. Not getting funds added to my account. Software issues with the website not allowing access to shipping tools, and being forced to use the app. Trying to update payment methods, but their site is too slow and times out.

      Trying to update payment methods using the app, and it prompts you that your payment method was added successfully, only to not see that it was added; and performing the steps numerous times both on the web using different search engines and numerous times using the app. Then being asked to take screenshots and provide it to them, which I had done more times than I can count, just for them to say they've passed it along to IT and someone will get back with you via email.

      Then, to make matters worse, their so-called IT department only makes matters even worse by actually creating ADDITIONAL issues that weren't there previously, and not being capable of correcting the issues that they themselves created. While I like the concept of Stamps.com, their platform is unreliable, their IT department is incapable & unqualified, and their customer service is absolutely horrible! AWFUL EXPERIENCES, time and time again! I was only with them for 3 weeks, but it was 3 weeks' worth of headaches, continuous phone calls, and lengthy phone calls lasting several hours each time. Three weeks too long! Find another platform, you will thank me later, or curse yourself for not listening to me.

      This website is a scam. Never remember signing up for anything yet somehow we did and now they will not email back after unauthorized charges showed up. Do not sign up for anything. This website is a scam.

      I stopped driving so I signed up to ship packages from home. I should have just checked out the USPS site first. After trying for over a week because they limited the funds I could put in my account to $50, and the total came to $56.65. I had to call. Then it wouldn't let me schedule pick up even though I made sure the option I chose included pick up.

      After several emails and phone calls, I got the membership fee back, but after two months, I am still fighting to get back my $70 I had to put in my account in order to purchase the label. First they said it takes time to process a refund. It didn't take any time for them to withdraw the money from my account. Then they switched to the "Our deposit was declined by your bank." line, even though two set up transfers for $1 showed up a week after they started telling me this. Then they said it was declined the day after those two set up transfers. Since then they have been telling me "The check is in the mail." Yesterday they sent me an email saying the funds for the label had been e-refunded to my account.

      My account with them was closed. I have discovered that many of the shipping sites are owned by one company, Auctane. Auctane apparently doesn't like giving people their money back. I now have to hope that I will some day get a check in the mail, that I will then have to figure out how to deposit, because the whole point of this mess in the first place was "I don't drive anymore!" I now have an account with USPS, and after splitting my shipment into two priority boxes, I shipped it for $25 less, and I finished in about 15 minutes without having to deposit money into a USPS account to purchase a label. The mail person picked them up the next day.

      SCAM, SCAM, SCAM. Just to explore the site and find out what it's about, you have to provide info that later turns out to bite you in the ** because a monthly credit card charge starts showing up, even though I have never even used the service.

      I signed up for Stamps.com because I wanted a simple, occasional option for small shipments that did not justify Priority Mail. I already use Pirate Ship, but thought Stamps might make sense for certain USPS services. I added postage funds assuming it would work as an on demand account. That seemed reasonable since I prepaid. What I did not realize is that they also put me on a monthly subscription. I never agreed to anything I understood to be a recurring charge, and I certainly did not need whatever “benefits” the subscription supposedly provides. I never printed a label. I never used the service.

      Months later I noticed recurring charges on my credit card statement. Canceling was not straightforward. I asked a basic question. What exactly was I paying for? Instead of answering it, support kept opening and closing tickets without resolving anything. When I requested a refund for the unused monthly fees, those tickets were closed as well. In the end I closed the account. They kept the postage balance I had deposited and told me it was non refundable. There may be use cases where this model works for someone. It did not for me. I will stick with Pirate Ship. No subscription fees, just discounted USPS and UPS rates and far less hassle.
