The  writing  of their  offer at  the  time  (they  may  change  it)  is  very  deceptive....after  reading  and  signing  up  for  it,  I  was  surprised  to  find  that  they  were  billing  me  $16/mo  if  I  did  not  terminate  my  "subscription"  even  though   I  did  not  use  their  service.....Imagine    being  on  subscription   for  stamps  that  you  may  or may  not  use  -on  top  of  what  you  may  pay  on  a regular  as  needed  basis....they  ripped  me  off  for  4months...they  got  away   with  $60  ...dont  let  it  happen  to  you  stay  away  from STAMPS.com....I am  filing  with  the  state  A.G.   because I dont  want  them   to  scam  anybody  else.....

Stamps.com Response

AUTHOR: StampsComCorp - (United States of America)

Hello,


 


Stamps.com appreciates your feedback, and apologizes for any misunderstanding.  We offer a four week no-risk trial so that you may use our online postage service and determine if the service fits your mailing and shipping needs.  Please note that we do not offer a "free trial" -- our trial is labeled as "no risk trial."


 


If you do not like the Stamps.com service, you may cancel at any time during the four week trial period and you will not be charged any subscription fee for using the service. 


 


However if you do not cancel the Stamps.com service and go past your four week trial period, you will be charged $15.99 for using the service during that first "trial" month.   After you pass the four week trial period and become a regular customer, you will be charged $15.99 each month moving forward.  You may cancel at any time -- there is no long term agreement.


 


During the registration process for Stamps.com and before a customer's account has been created, (on the page called Postage Account Credit Card Authentication) all prospective customers will see the following text:


 


Why do you need my credit card information? 


Your credit card is required by the USPS to set up your USPS postage account.  Your credit card will not be charged unless you buy additional postage or Stamps.com products, or if you continue past the NO-RISK 4-week trial period. 


 


We provide and disclose terms that we do expect all potential customers to read, review, and agree to before they create their accounts.  Accounts cannot be created without customers indicating that they have read the terms by clicking on the I Agree box. 


 


We apologize for any misunderstanding and would be happy to further review your account. Could you e-mail us your full name and phone number to social@stamps.com?


 


Thanks!


Divya
