I signed up with stamps.com from being lured by the promise of $25 free postage and a free 5lb scale or cheap 25lb scale. Man did they deliver!!! Now you can get $45 instead of $25, which makes me jealous ;)
I am going into my fourth month with them and am still gaining from this experience! Here's what I did so you know what to do too, I just got lucky stumbling on the answers, but this way you know for sure.
First go and sign up CLICK HERE and enter the promo code C-8JF6-BBW to get $45 free postage, free supplies kit, free five pound digital scale or discounted 25lb digital scale and a free 4 week trial. No here's where you have to pay attention, I got the same promo as above but with only $25 free postage- so I can only tell you how mine worked, but it was probably the same as yours will be.
I signed up and ordered the discounted 25lb digital scale since I planned to use it for more then just mail (like making soap or measuring things out to cook) so I got that for the discounted cost of $50 with free shipping. I jumped at the offer since that's $25 cheaper then the cheapest stand alone 25lb digital scale I've ever found and ~$50 cheaper then most- I've wanted one for ages so this made the whole deal for me right there. They also have a FREE 5lb scale you can order instead, I just wanted the 25lb one. Then when you figure I got $5 usps free postage also that I would have bought anyways, it's really like I got the scale for $45 :)
I downloaded the software stamps.com uses to print postage off and got $5 free postage credited to my account and had 4 weeks free to use it in. They mailed me a free supplies kit that had labels, 2 sheets of blank stamps and 2 postcards in it. That came 2 days after I signed up, so plenty of time to print postage off with. I printed off some stamps, used the free $5 up and then called to cancel my account.
I talked to a Representative and they offered to lower my account status to the 'basic' package- which is not advertised but is only $9.99 a month. Those 2 postcards above were for $10 free postage each and you can submit one a month. You also get credited the 28¢ you spend sending the postcard back too, but make sure you keep some of the stamps.com blank stamps they sent you to use on the postcards, they aren't valid unless you use their postcard stamp printer as the postage to send the postcards. So that meant that I was actually getting 1¢ free a month in postage, that's not much, but hey- for the convenience of being able to print my own postage and labels at home and just stick them in my mailbox, I'll take it. I assume with the $45 free postage you will actually get 4 postcards, so will effectively get 5 free months instead of 3 like I did (and gain $5.04 instead of $5.02). But I mentioned the name of the basic package because you might have to ask specifically to be 'downgraded' to it.

So I decided to stay with them for another 2 months for the convenience and since it wasn't costing me a dime (and saving me a penny lol) Then I just called today to cancel my account since I have no more postcards to send and so starting the 15th it will be costing me $9.99 a month, instead of saving me 1¢. I talked to a very nice woman and just told her I wanted to cancel the account, that we'd decided the convenience just didn't out weight the cost and you know what she did? She waived my fee for next month AND credited me $5 in free postage!!! So I am getting another month for free and getting $5 postage for free!!! I specifically asked if that meant I was agreeing not to cancel next month and she said no, I also asked if the fee was just temporarily waived or permanently waived for next month (as in would I be charged the $10 at the end of the month or on the next month's bill in lue of being charged now, or if it was really a free month) she confirmed that it was really a free month and sent me an email with everything written out. So what could I say to that? I wasn't about to pass up being given $5 for free and getting to keep the convenience of printing and packaging my mail at home for free for another month.
So that's where I am now. I got off the phone with her and said to myself what a great deal this program has been for me, so of course my next thought was sharing it with everyone else :)
