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.Business Response

I received a bogus adjustment on a package that was listed on stamps.com to be ***** to ship. My package was a canvas that weighed less than 5 lbs and with the box weighed 10lbs max. There were multiple adjustments made without my knowledge or consent totaling $389. One adjustment said carrier calculated weight at 40lbs (this is a thin canvas which would never be 40lbs let alone over 10lbs. Then the second adjustment stated a weight adjustment of 90lbs!!How does Stamps allow this illegal activity to happen? And multiple bogus adjustments charged to my card.Business Response

Dear ***,
Thank you for your inquiry.We appreciate and consider your feedback and take our customers concerns very seriously.
We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this situation has caused. As confirmed by our team on October 15, 2025, *** approved the adjustment dispute for the shipment with tracking number: 1ZJ41K330303102208
Rest assured that a credit should be in your postage account within ***** days.
The carrier indicated that you reference the following links to avoid shipping correction fees for future shipments:
************************************************************************************************************
*****************************************************************************
Please keep in mind that the longest side is the length. To clarify, adjustments come directly from the carrier and we are required to pass them onto the customers.If it is determined by a carrier partner of Stamps.com that a mailing or shipping transaction did not contain sufficient funds (for example, not enough postage to cover a shipment due to an underreporting of weight at time of print, or a change in mail class eligibility because of carrier rule changes), the adjustments would be made. To clarify, Stamps.com passes along the charges from the carrier it is not a direct charge from Stamps.com or the Stamps.com software. Customers who print labels are subject to cost adjustments. Adjustments can occur if the weight is inaccurately reported, or the dimensions of the package when creating a label.When delivering a package, the carrier will verify the weight and dimensions,and will adjust the cost of the label if there are discrepancies.

Stamps.com has been stealing from me for years without my knowledge. This slipped through the cracks because it was being charged to a bank account that I really don't use very much. They've been charging me $19.99 a month plus tax for a subscription that I didn't intentionally sign up for. They even suspended my account for inactivity, but continued to charge me the monthly service fees.When I called to dispute the charges with them I was given the run around but eventually they agreed to FULLY refund my money as documented in the attached emails. Shortly after they changed their minds and decided that they only would refund $250 or the almost $600 dollars they had stolen from me.They never once sent me an invoice via email, via postal service or called me on the phone.Their business practices are clearly a scam that prays on people that don't comb their banking transactions with a fine tooth comb.I want my money back. The company is a scam that is well documented all over the internet.Business Response

I previously had an account with ********************** (Account #******** with a balance of $2,725.39 USD. I requested a refund, but was informed that refunds could only be processed after closing the account. Therefore, I closed the account as instructed.The refund was supposed to be issued by September 2025, but as of today, I have not received any refund.Customer service initially stated that they attempted to refund the amount to my credit card on file, but that the transaction did not go through even though this same card had successfully processed their charges in the past. They then claimed a refund check would be sent, yet nothing has been issued and there has been no further communication.I have made multiple attempts to resolve this matter through customer service, but it remains unresolved. I am demanding that Stamps.com immediately issue my refund of $2,725.39 USD as promised.If this issue is not resolved without further delay, I will pursue legal action to recover the funds and any associated costs.Business Response

I used stamps.com to mail a very important document. They promised me overnight shipping through ****. They provided me with a tracking number. My package did not arrive at its destination on time. I attempted to use the tracking number to see the status of the package, but it was invalid through **** and stamps.com. **** customer service could not help me because stamps.com is a 3rd party provider. Stamps.com customer service was the worst customer service experience I have ever had the displeasure of enduring. They are obviously an off-shore sham. The man on the phone had no idea how the website worked or what services the company provided. He was blatantly lying to me. When I asked him questions, he would ask a supervisor then come back with an answer that seemed to me like the company just trying to avoid liability. They told me that the tracking number wasn't actually a tracking but more like a transaction/order number. They tried to avoid all responsibly for the damage they caused my company or the egregious amount of my time and energy they wasted.Business Response

On October 1st Stamps.com charged my account $20.99 for a subscription I have no knowledge of signing up for. I was logged into shipstation into ShipStation on Aug 29th to potentially use there services but didn't even decide to use them and canceled. No service rendered. Going through emails it looks like that was the same day this Stamps account was created.I wish to cancel whatever fake subscription they have me attached to and refunded for services I never used.Business Response

Dear *******,
Thank you for your inquiry. We appreciate and consider your feedback and take our customers concerns very seriously. Rest assured that we have closed your account and issued a courtesy refund of $20.99. Were sorry to hear that you havent been using the Stamps.com features and services available to you with your account. The monthly service fee is a flat rate fee that provides access to your account. The fee is not based on usage or activity.
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 9/27/25. We do not show that we received a cancellation during the 4-week trial period.
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?
