  I created an account with Stamps.com in January 2025 but quickly realized it wouldn't meet my needs for what I was looking for. At no point did the site tell me I was signing up for a subscription service or that I would be charged. On 3/3/25 and on 4/2/25 I was charged $21.34. On the website I can login to my account using one email address but when trying to access my account information to cancel this transaction I get caught in a loop of verifying my account with an email I do not have and have never seen before. This has locked me out of unsubscribing from this service that I didn't sign up for in the first place.

  I just received a charge of REMOVEDfrom stamps.com. I have not used this service in years. I believe I briefly used services provided by Stamps.com in beginning in 2022 for the free trial. I canceled soon thereafter as the service did not meet my needs any longer. I have not mailed anything at all via any service in years or used stamps.com in years. The withdrawal of the REMOVEDwas a complete shock since my business with them was concluded years ago. Now I have been trying to access the website and cannot. The websites requests an TIN number which I do not and have never had. And when I call the customer service hotline I am left endlessly on hold. I have called 5 times. I therefore have no way to resolve this issue with the company.

  I opened up a stamps.com trial on 12/31 and soon after (within the trial period) cancelled due to an error with my account being locked and unable to use their services. Despite this, I continue to see monthly charges for $21.19 on my account that I did not authorize. When I go to my account it is still giving me an error message claiming "Due to the current status of your account, you cannot print or purchase funds. Please call REMOVEDat REMOVEDfor assistance." I would like for these charges to be reversed with no further charges. I would also like for my account to be closed. Thank you!

  Total Nonsense. Visited Stamps.com website. Did not decide to utilize their services. The next thing I know is that I am getting emails saying that Stamps.com cannot process my monthly membership payment. I never signed up for any service or membership. I did not sign up for a membership.

  I never authorized for their monthly service. They charged me for 8 months before the shady practices were discovered until my CPA. They dont send a invoice or a email billing you.I never used their services to mail anything at any point. You cant successfully cancel on line or find a phone number to call.The internet is full of stories of other people trying to cancel service only to keep being charged.I had to file fraud with my bank and they were able to retrieve some of the monthly charges but not all of them.They continue to send email with no contact information calling them not a bill but activity reports trying to keep charging me.This company has established history of shady business practices. I repeat I have never signed up Stamps.com nor ever used them.

  I initially enrolled in the stamps.com "free trial" for 30 days. you were supposed to receive $10 of free postage just for opening trial. After opening and submitting information, i see i did not receive any free postage and i was required to enter credit card number. i cancelled the following day, if not the same day because they were requiring you to purchase credit to upload to your account to purchase stamps. Now a month later i see a pending charge of $21.95 on my credit card.i tried there chat and showed my account still. it should have been closed and i should not be charged anything.

  Thank you for sharing your concerns, REMOVED.  We do consider the fees charged to be valid and appropriate, and we do not bill without the customer's knowledge and approval.  To best serve our customers, we provide the terms for REMOVEDaccounts 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 ( REMOVED) on a single webpage during the registration process.
  
  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.
  
  In addition, immediately after sign-up, new customers are sent a Welcome Email with the same terms outlined, along with information about the monthly flat rate fee if you choose to continue past the trial month.
  
  We show that a courtesy refund of $19.99 had been issued on 4/1/25.  Rest assured that we have issued an additional courtesy refund of $19.99 on 4/4/25.  We show that this represents a full refund.  Please let us know if we can assist any further.

  They sign you up for their account and never mentionthat you have to pay $20 every month! They don't even send you an invoice to let you know you're being charged. If you take it up with their customer service, they say we cannot refund you! REMOVED!

  I received repeated notices from the REMOVEDsaying that I was going to be delivered a package from stamps.com. I (wrongly) assumed this had something to do with purchasing stamps from the REMOVEDso I typed in stamps.com and went to login. I have purchased stamps online from REMOVEDbefore and thought I had an account with them, but the site didn't recognize my info, so I chose the 'create an account' option. At that point, I realized I was on the wrong type of site, as this site assumed I was some kind of business offering mail services. So I went to cancel my account and have been stuck in an endless loop of 'verify your account' emails, where I entered the code they sent several times, and only received the 'verify' prompt again. I attempted to login again at one point and it simply told me the password was wrong. i attempted to reset password but again got stuck in an endless verify account loop. i attempted to use the chat agent where i got an endless loop of 'what would you like help with', with the only option being to suggest an additional feature to the site. live agents were not available. there was something on the site about a 30-day free trial with the implication that i would be charged $40/month after my '30-day free trial', but it won't allow me to access my account in order to cancel this debacle. when I created it, i assumed it was part of the REMOVEDand there was no info about a free trial or monthly charge, or even any clarification about what the purpose of the site was. i need to be able to cancel this incorrectly-created account so i am not charged for having created it.
