We have been using Postage saver for years. During that time we have used several different CASS software packages. Some have also offered software to sort and bar code trays. Postage saver has remained our favorite.

Easy to use, Forms are the same as the current USPS forms in appearance. It checks for current updates when it starts.

We mail several different types of mailings. I would like a easier way to switch between the setup information.

Using Postage $aver helped us transition to managing bulk mailing on our own. If you've ever tried to figure out bulk mailing rules, you know how complicated it can be to understand the USPS regulations. Postage $aver walks you through the process step by step to generate accurate barcode labels (in 1+ years of using Postage $aver, we've never had issues with our labels...and that is saying something!)

Don't let the interface and low price tag fool you. Postage $aver is powerfully built software that walks you through every step of the bulk mailing process. What I love most is the info button next to each section that gives me confidence in choosing the option that fits my needs. Mailing and mailing regulations are so complicated, but Postage $aver gives you a clear path to follow. All you have to do is import your data file, click a couple of options and Postage $aver generates all the reports you need for your own records and for USPS.

The only issue we have is all the steps we have to take before using Postage $aver. You have to prepare your list [for us that mean download, clean up, import to list cleansing software to meet USPS regulations, download, fix issues, then finally upload to Postage $aver]. Our previous database integrated all of these steps automatically, so all we had to do was walk through the mailing settings. But with Postage $aver offering such a low yearly cost, we are able to buy credits through another company to cleanse our list, and it keeps the overall cost much lower. Also, we would have this issue with any bulk mailing software since this integration is not available with our new database management software.

Does not completely place subscribers in the right order. Some are scattered and you have to go through labels in advance and mark them and then remember that. It would be nice if you could created a route number which would be broken up into the separate routes.

Cost is the biggest benefit. I like the postal report. All I have to put in is percent and weight.

Have to keep a separate list in Microsoft spreadsheet and do a mail merge every week. You have to mark the labels every week.

The frequency of the updates, the features match our needs, and the (very little) support requests needed have had immediate turnarounds.

The "single flow through the wizard" model is a bit weird for our use case. We use the software to generate our bulk-mail sorted lists of address, THEN we print them, stuff them, etc. So we have to go through twice; once before we print and stuff to get the sorted lists, then once again afterwards once we have the weights and known dates of mailing, which we don't necessarily know ahead of time.My OCD makes me very, very nervous that the 2 runs will sort them differently somehow. To date there's been no problem so I'm less anxious about it now, but I wish we could do a "sort only" run, then add the dates/weights to it and print the reports USING that original sort.

Very economical - kept up to date - customer service responds fast. We have been using since 2009.

Good support - reasonable pricing - for a organization like ours who only puts out a bulk mailing only once a month most other products are cost prohibitive - they cost more to use than bulk mail saves us.

I wish the membership/mail merge functionality and the Postage Saver functionality were integrated - right now I have to export a spreadsheet from my membership database (MemberTies) into Postage Saver and then take the output spreadsheet into Word to do a mail merge of the address page of our newsletter. What I do work well but lots of opportunities to mess up a step.
