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.Business Response

Dear ******,
Thank you for your inquiry. We appreciate and consider your feedback and take our customers concerns very seriously. We apologize for any misunderstanding. We do show that you have 2 separate accounts with us. We have made sure both accounts are closed.
We show that Account ********** was opened 2/27/2025 and we have closed it as of 4/07/2025. We zeroed out the outstanding balance of $21.59.
We show that Account ********** was opened 5/08/2023 and closed on 6/07/2023.
Rest assured we have zeroed out your unpaid balance of $42.78. We show that your account is closed.
Due to the varying needs and requirements of their businesses, many of our customers require multiple accounts. If a customer initiates and completes the registration process for a new, separate account, we cannot assume that they do not need a separate account. Each ********************** account will have its own distinct username and particular date of creation, and distinctive meter number and license.
To create any ********************** account, you must complete the multi-step registration process at www.stamps.com. 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 do make every effort to thoroughly communicate any necessary information to our customers once they create a ********************** account, including a Welcome Email that provides confirmation of a new account being activated. When you create a second account, you are required to read and agree to the Terms of Use, indicating that you agree to be billed on a monthly basis as long as your account is open.
We offer various methods of cancellation, including online, email, and phone options. We disclose our phone number at our site.
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.

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.Business Response

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.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:I expected a full refund for both months, not a partial. I only shipped one item during that time and had no knowledge that I was being billed.
This feels predatory and unacceptable.

I received repeated notices from the **** saying 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 **** so I typed in stamps.com and went to login. I have purchased stamps online from **** before 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 **** and 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.Business Response

I briefly used services provided by Stamps.com beginning in 2017 and ending two to three year after that, I did call to cancel my account on at least three occasions, I believed that my third attempt was successful. I have not used any stamps.com services since 2020. Additionally, received no billing or other correspondence since and assumed my business with them had ceased. Earlier this month they withdrew $603.69 from my account and when I disputed that amount they claimed they had no record of my closing it. Unfortunately my requests to close the account were phone conversations.Business Response

I paid and printed a *** label (surepost), which can be serviced by both *** and ****, and shipped a medical device to a patient in **********. The package was picked up by **** and was in L.A. before the tracking stopped for almost 5 days without any updates. After about a week or so the tracking was updated stating I didn't pay for the postage. I called **** and they told me the label was fraudulent and has been conficated and sent to D.C..I explained to them I paid for them through Stamps.com and also mentioned that I wouldn't be able to track it on your website if my label was fake and why would call **** if I knew the label was fake. Of course they had no answer and asked me to call stamps.com. My initial conversation with stamps.com took over 2 hours and they finally admitted to me this is a known issue and has been resolved, which was a lie. I called back the following week and told them the issue has not been resolved and they agreed that it's still on going I shuold file a claim with ****. Basically putting everything on me to fix. I also let them know you can't file a claim on a package that is not lost, it's been confiscated. ******** customer service to say the least. I called them back again a few days later to let them know nothing has happened, and they pretty much said yeah we know and you just have to wait until we fix the problem. I asked them how long and the answer was however long it takes. I demanded they pay for my $500 medical device and f course they refused. Absolutely a joke of a company. Now I'm out of $500 and at the mercy of this spineless company. It's been 3 weeks and nothing has been done, not even a phone call from them.Business Response

A recent charge of $22.05 from Stamps.com on March 20, 2025, is the subject of this complaint. Currently enrolled in the Stamps.com free plan, there should be no monthly fee according to the website and initial understanding. A review of account details has not revealed any justification for this charge. They are a scam.Business Response

Dear ***********,
Thank you for your inquiry. We appreciate and consider your feedback and take our customers concerns very seriously. Rest assured we have issued a courtesy refund of $66.15 on 3/25/25. We show that your account is closed.
We show an account was fully activated on 12/20/2024.
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 $19.99 monthly fee after the 4-Week Trial Period, which ended on your account on 1/17/25.
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,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.
We 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.
