A trip to the post office can be a harrowing experience. Long lines. Hauling heavy packages. If you constantly have to run to the post office because your business requires you to mail things out on a regular basis, then you know that the task of making the trip to the post office can be extremely mundane and just a downright nuisance.

Even if you are just buying stamps in bulk, you still have to make a trip out to the post office every so often to buy to buy them. If the size and shape of the packages you mail out varies and the only reason you have to stand in line at the post office is because you have no idea how much your postage will cost, and you need someone to weigh and process your package for you, then you definitely know the pain of having to undertake this chore of visiting the post office.

If you run a business, you know that taking time away from your business to run to the post office is a necessary evil. That's time better spent on growing your business.

Are you tired of the same old "standard" choices of postage stamps issued by the government, and you wish you could customize your own stamp with either a photograph, a monogram, or a logo?

Then you will be pleasantly surprised to know that you can print your own stamps right in the comfort of your own home or office, right from your very own computer. You can scan or design your own customized full-color image, logo, picture, or pattern, and print it onto your own stamps.

All you need are:

1. A computer with Internet access.
2. A printer (black and white is fine, color is optional)
3. A metered weighing scale

All you need to do is:

1. Weigh your package on your own scale.
2. Enter some information online such as the weight of the package, the return address, destination address, method of delivery (first class, media mail, priority mail, express mail), whether you want delivery confirmation or for it to be delivered certified, and whether you want insurance.
3. Design your own stamp using a scanner, any type of graphic software, or by downloading an image from the Internet.
4. Load your printer with specialized adhesive paper.
5. Pay for your stamps online, unless you have already prepaid a fixed amount from which the cost of this postage can be deducted.
6. Print your stamps!

It really is as simple as that!

You will also be pleasantly surprised to know that you can schedule to have your local USPS postal carrier come and pick up your packages from your home or office, every day, for free!

Printing your own postage stamps saves you time and effort. It liberates you from the drudgery and nuisance of having to leave your home or your office, and haul your packages to the post office several times a week and stand in long lines, during business hours. You can print your postage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, even when the post office is closed!

Research has shown that your recipients are more likely to open your mail than throw it away if it has an attractive, eye-catching, and personalized postage stamp on it. Not only can you bring the magic and fun back into snail mail by printing your own personal postage stamps, but you will also be saving time that could be better spent on other things.
