Postage

We (FINALLY!) got rid of our postage meter! Hooray, end of super-expensive-prohibitively-long-lease!
I'm probably going to replace it with either a stamps.com account or a Dymo postage printer, but I don't know what to choose. Do any of you have experience with either of these?

I may just keep going to the post office directly, since The Man took away my super-convenient mailbox, but it's nice to not have to always buy more stamps, or wait in line for anything non-standard...

Yep, PB. The lease had been in effect since before I started, and I'm in my 5th year here. We used to do in-house flier mailings, but we've since had our printer take care of those, so we have a lot less need for such a spendy machine. Over $100/mo, not including postage, and phone tree from HELL. Granted, once I managed to talk to a human being they were all very nice and competent, but getting to one took a lot of doing.

Weird about the custom supply stuff, 'cause I thought their main selling point was printing from standard printers and *not* needing custom supplies. Huh.
