I'm a few weeks late with this press release. 

Endicia, the largest distributor of Internet (PC) postage by volume in the United States, today announced that the Company has been authorized by the United States Postal Service (USPS) to allow businesses to create customized postage. Using PictureItPostage for Business, companies can easily create postage depicting their logo, new product, or advertising message.

My budget doesn't include spending an extra 25% for postage.  Would the addressee notice the logo stamp?  I never look at the stamps when I recieve mail.

Calling all Endica ho's.

I used them once but I like the way stamps.com works better. Now I need to do more international so I think I have to go back to Endica. Can you do shipments with the big white customs forms through Endica and not have to go through the line?? I only go in the post office for the white custom form packages now. If they do does someone have a referral code??  :-* Thanks. Kim

Who you calling a ho?

Can you do shipments with the big white customs forms through Endica and not have to go through the line??

I think that may depend on your Postmaster. You should check with him/her/it.

By the way, those picture postage stamps may be a bit too high for regular use, but they do make great gifts. Got them last year through USPS with my grandkids on them.

You can drop Endicia USPS Int'l packages that are under 2 lbs. in the mailbox--any int'l pkg over 2 lbs. has to be handed to a postal clerk or it will be returned to you days later...even if the PO mail slot you dropped it in was 3 feet from where a postal clerk was sitting.  :-[

Or you can do carrier pickup of international packages of any weight.

~Bob - Is the "big lady" still there or do you not have to go to the post office anymore?? Kim

Beth - Does Endica print out everything for the white form? Can you hand to a carrier if it is not pre-scheduled? Kim

[iron_chick]

Endicia prints out everything - including the multiple copies of the *long* customs form. 

I think that whether or not your carrier will pick it up without a schedule . . . depends on your carrier.  My regular one won't get out of her car absent a presidential mandate.  The substitute tells me to just leave a note in my box.   (I like the sub and am (not so) patiently waiting for the regular woman to retire. )

(I also live in a small town with really nice posties.  I made an oops on a flat rate APO package recently and the folks at the PO just filled out the correct customs forms for me, sent the package on its way, and sent me copies of the correct forms. )

I rarely go to the P.O. anymore, Kim. That chapter is closed. My stuff's too big now. The big lady is still there but I don't have any dealings with her anymore.  :'(
