    I created an account on ShippingEasy and added funds to purchase shipping labels. They have a partner - Stamps.com. ShippingEasy stated that their account includes a free Stamps.com plan, but I recently discovered that Stamps.com has been charging me $19.99 per month for the past two years. I have never taken any actions on Stamps.com nor used any of their services. Neither Stamps.com nor ShippingEasy has ever sent me any emails notifying me about these charges, and I have never received any invoices or receipts from them.I am requesting a full refund!account number: ********** Email: ******************* My card has been charged monthly: ************ 9026

    Dear Ting, 


    Thank you for your inquiry. We appreciate and consider your feedback and take our customers concerns very seriously. 
    We show that there are two separate accounts in question.  We show that a paid account under the Core -$19.99 monthly plan was created on 1/5/24.  This was Account **********.  To create any Stamps.com account, you must complete the multi-step registration process at www.stamps.com   Rest assured that this account is now closed. 

    The ShippingEasy is a separate account ******************* under a separate account creation process.  This Stamps.com Pro Plan - ShippingEasy 0306 - $0.00/monthly was opened on 12/04/2023.

    We do consider the fees charged to be valid and appropriate.  Your satisfaction is important to us and we would be happy to issue a courtesy refund check of $439.78 as we are not able to issue a credit card refund due to a bank decline.  Please confirm the payee name and mailing address.  

    Registration requires you to enter your name, mailing address, phone number and credit card information, in addition to creating a username and password and selecting two security questions. Also, you must review and agree to our Terms and Conditions:
    www.stamps.com/conditions


    We show that an account ********** under the Core -$19.99 monthly plan was created on 1/5/24.  We apologize for any misunderstanding regarding our fee structure.  We hear your concerns and we fully disclose our fees before any account can be created. We don't advertise or offer a free or pay-as-you-go service, and as disclosed and explained during registration, we do charge a monthly fee after the 4-Week Trial Period, which ended on your account on 2/3/24.

    The fee we charge gives you access to services of the *********** and the license to print official U.S.postage. Its a flat fee that is not determined by how much postage you print. Stamps.com is a vendor licensed by the ****, and all paid postage goes directly to the ***********. In order to offer our standard service, we do charge a monthly subscription fee, as stated in our Terms of Service:www.stamps.com/conditions 

    We never charge people without their full agreement during our online registration process.  *********** fee is not based on usage or activity.  The monthly subscription service fee that Stamps.com charges is for access of the Stamps.com software,which allows customers to print postage from the comfort of their home or small office using just a PC and a printer.  *********** is a monthly subscription service so its not based on usage of the software, but rather on having access to using it. 

    We believe in full disclosure, and information about our fees is available on our website,interface, Terms, and FAQs.

    During registration for a Stamps.com account, we explain that your credit card will not be charged unless you continue past the four-week trial or buy additional postage and Online Store products.  We believe the monthly fee provides a good value for customers who need to print not only just Priority and Priority Express Mail shipping labels, but also Shipping Labels for other classes (we support First Class, Media Mail, and Parcel Select Labels), NetStamps, and postage printed directly on envelopes.  We do have a wide variety of customers who enjoy the experience of not having to rely on expensive postage meters and who require more functionality and features than what other ********** services currently offer.

    On our main page at www.stamps.com, we explain our fees under the section "Here's how it works..."  During the registration process we do make sure that our customers are aware of the monthly service fee in that we have it detailed on the webpage titled Why do you need my credit card information?          

    We do this so that customers can see the price before they complete the registration process. We also have the billing policy detailed in our Terms and Conditions at:

    www.stamps.com/conditions

    Customers are required to review and agree to these Terms prior to completing registration.

    In addition, potential customers can review and compare our pricing plans, as well as other important information, to determine which plan best meets their mailing needs via the Learn More section which is accessible from the Stamps.com home page.  We provide FAQs that answer questions about pricing, plans, and specific and general benefits of using Stamps.com:

    I am filing this complaint against Stamps.com regarding unauthorized and unfair billing practices. My account has not been active or in use since September of last year, yet the company continued to attempt to charge me monthly fees, resulting in a total balance of $331.12.When I contacted Stamps.com to dispute these charges, I was informed that they continue billing customers even when accounts are not being used. I was never made aware of this policy, nor did I knowingly agree to being charged for an inactive account. At no point was I notified that charges would continue to accrue without any account activity.I believe this practice is deceptive and unethical. I am requesting that Stamps.com refund or remove the $331.12 in charges and immediately close my account to prevent any further billing.Please investigate this matter and assist in resolving it fairly.

    In October 2025, I noticed a recent charge from Stamps.com on my bank account, even though my account with them was closed in 2020. After reviewing my statements, I discovered three other unauthorized charges going back several months.The total amount withdrawn without authorization is $159.92, consisting of five separate transactions: $19.99 on 3/21/2025; $79.96 on 7/21/2025, $19.99 on 8/21/2025, $19.99 on 9/21/2025, and $19.99 on 10/21/2025.I contacted Stamps.com support and provided all requested information including the last four digits of my card, billing ZIP code, and screenshots of the charges but they said they couldnt locate any record of the transactions. I was told my account has been closed since 2020, yet the company continues to withdraw funds.These are unauthorized charges, and I am requesting a full refund and written confirmation that my information will be removed from any active billing system so this does not happen again.

    I tried to get a free trial going with this company, for that they asked for my credit card. I never managed to gain access to their website and never tested their services. They however did charge my credit card on 10/11/25 for $20.99.I tried contacting this company but it has proven impossible: since I don't have a working account with them they don't provide chat support; they don't post a phone number but managed to find one, yet they don't answer the phone...I was waiting for over 20 minutes before I got disconnected.I want to 1) terminate any possible account I may have with this company, and 2) get my $20.99 refunded.Thank you.

    Stamps.com has been withdrawing $20 per month from my account since July of 2020. I just noticed these transactions and let them know that I never authorized these transactions. They originally said they would be refunding the money within 48 hours, now they are saying that a paper check will be issued in 6-8 weeks.

    I am rejecting this response because: your business told me that the refund would take multiple weeks.  This is not acceptable.  A refund such as this should not take additional time.  The refund check should be mailed IMMEDIATEY.  A check should be out before the end of the week.  Multiple weeks is NOT acting in good business.

    Sincerely,

    ***** *******

    Dear *****,


    Thank you for your message. We completely understand your concern and the urgency of receiving your refund.  Rest assured that your refund has been added to this weeks check run for processing. Please note that while we strive to issue refunds as quickly as possible, our procedures require standard processing time to ensure all payments are reviewed and approved accurately.This process is already underway, and your check will be mailed promptly once it clears our system.  We appreciate your patience and understanding as we complete this step. Please be assured that we are making every effort to expedite the process within our established timelines.

    I signed up for a free trial and canceled before the free trial ended. The business informed me I would be switched to a no-free subscription service and then charged me a subscription fee.

    Dear Sikemi, 
    Thank you for your inquiry.We appreciate and consider your feedback and take our customers concerns very seriously.  Rest assured that we issued a courtesy refund of $20.99 on 10/20/25.  We show that you are on the Subscription-Free Plan for future cycles of service. 
    Rest assured we have waived the upcoming service fee and resolved this issue for you.  We hear your concerns on this and appreciate your feedback on this.  We bill at the end of the cycle for the cycle you started with, even if a service plan takes place. That's because when a service plan change takes place, the new billing always goes into effect at the end of your next cycle.  We apologize for the misunderstanding on this.  Rest assured that we have adjusted the bill for you.  If we can clarify further, please let me know.

    To best serve our customers, we provide the terms for ********************** accounts during the registration process. Stamps.com accounts cannot be created without customers indicating that theyve read the terms and conditions. We believe in full disclosure, which is why we provide our terms ( ******************************************** ) on a single webpage during the registration process.  Our terms state: Your recurring Service fee, if any, will be calculated and billed based on the terms of your offer. Unless otherwise indicated in the offer, if you have registered for a monthly billing plan, the monthly billing cycle ends one month after you register. For example, if you register on March 8 the first billing cycle will end April 7, and the second billing cycle will begin on April 8. Stamps.com bills in arrears (i.e., at the end of the applicable billing cycle) and a pro-rated charge for your Service fee may apply if you cancel or change your plan in the middle of a billing cycle. In addition, Stamps.com may maintain the availability of the Services for the full month when your account is canceled.If you register for a trial offer, but wish to avoid incurring the monthly Service fee (including for the first month of Service), make sure to cancel your account before the trial period ends. To cancel, you may cancel online or call Stamps.com customer support at **************, Monday Friday, 6 am 6pm (PST).
