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.

Same as above - otherwise, the software works great.

I have used Postage Saver for many years. It allows me to prepare reports for the USPS in a fast, efficient manner. It is easy to use and they have advised us when upcoming changes such as this year's move to flat trays so we were prepared to handle it. My local post office wasn't even aware of the change. Thanks for a great product!

My in-county labels don't print in the correct order that my local post office wants so we have to use our backup system for those. I also wish the labels could be printed on continuous feed labels - that is an easy way to prepare them for placement.

easy to use, inexpensive, some elements not automatic

can't print endorsement line, which is probably user error

Best experience I've ever had with any software: Error-free, remarkably inexpensive, superior customer service, easy to install, update, and use.

Postage $aver does exactly what we need, easily applying the incredibly complicated USPS rules to prepare our monthly newsletter mailing labels. It pays for itself in the first month or two every year. All questions are answered very rapidly by Scott, usually in less than 24 hours, the best customer service I have ever experienced for any service or product. It provides us warnings about upcoming USPS changes before the USPS does.

Sometimes I have to change a setting and do another run to see whether it will cost even less postage. It would be nice if Postage $aver could optimize that automatically.

It enables me, as an independent contractor, to save my not-for-profit clients money by lowering their postage costs. Some of them have had to prepare bulk mailings manually in the past, and were confounded by changing USPS requirements. My ability to produce money-saving results with minimal effort seems like magic to them.

I've used Postage $aver for nearly 20 years, and it has greatly simplified an often-confusing and tiresome task time and time again. More recent versions, that produce high-quality versions of USPS forms, impress the staff at one of the Bulk Mail Acceptance facilities I use. Even as the volume and frequency of mailings I oversee decreases, I will continue to renew and support this software as long as I'm able.

Nothing, really, but I hope that a 64-bit version for MacOS will be available by the time its required.

It's been such a HUGE help for our receipting process and many bulk mailings ... has saved us Thousands of dollars. I love it.

Saved us many thousands of dollars in postage costs .... very well created, well maintained.

Could use improvements in the SDK for software developers who integrate this with .net programs. It's a little challenging to automate using vb.net. If that were fixed, this woudl be bullet proof.

We have saved money since day one. Easy to train new users on how to use the software.

Easy to use and literally saves us postage over other products we have tested for our publication permit mailings. Excellent and timely customer service. Excellent sorting on our Excel files.

Will not do some discounts allowed under postal regs.

We've using PS for years and are very happy with it. It automated (to some degree) a manually system for us, saving lots of time and minimizing errors.

It's easy to use. The prompts are pretty straight-forward and processing time is quick. Integrates easily with Excel.

I do a mail merge from Excel to Word to print labels. It would be great if there was some sort of indicator where the each new tray starts, or if it can automatically insert blank rows in the Excel sheet for each new tray. Right now I have to go into Excel and insert blank rows manually to separate the label set for each tray.

I use this every week for our periodical mailing

Integrating my excel spreadsheet and creating the postal form for me

I would like to see it pull in the data into the USPS site.

I use Postage $aver almost every week to sort mailing lists and prepare postal documents. I'm a small direct mail company and simply don't have the budget for commercial postal software - but this is essentially the same thing. Easy to use with helpful tools and tips. Frequent updates and customer service is extremely responsive to any issues. I've been a loyal customer for more than 7 years!

Low cost, frequent updates and stellar customer service. The software is very easy to use with exemplary walk-through windows and instructions. This software is perfect for both new and experienced users of postal sorting software.

Nothing. I use it every week and saves me $$$ as compared to the more ridiculous over-priced "commercial" postal software.

Pretty good. The no CASS situation isn't great though. I wish you could incorporate something like dial-a-zip or something.

Fairly easy and fast to use. Good price.

1) Only zip+4 processing. Wish it could process without +4 2) The address menu is a little convoluted (the area where you assign the fields). I seem to spend the most time here fixing fields, etc. 3) I don't like I have to reprocess a file to reprint reports. Should be available until I start a new session.

By using Postage Saver we have not had to use a 3rd.

I have used Postage Saver for several years now without a glitch. Setup was very simple and creating reports are easy to generate and understand.

We have not experienced any issues. When we needed to make a contact change it was seamless and [sensitive content hidden] was very accommodating.

Able to complete a weekly mailing

Essential for a large mailing. Postage $aver is a must for my business and is well worth the cost.

No major problems. Lots of text that could be presented differently

I mail several times a year postcards with standard mail rates. It does a great job for this purpose.

It works well with my design software. It is a cost effective solution to providing standard mail services It does not require an expensive subscription It works well for occasional needs which is why I got it.

It is not an inclusive solution If you mail frequently, it is not likely to be a good solution.

Function, updates, ease of use and accuracy adn hallmarks of this great tool.

We feel Postage Saver to be an integral part of our function from week to week.

Can't think of any issue that I'd ask to be improved.

I'VE BEEN USING THIS SOFTWARE FOR 14 YEARS. EVERY YEAR, I REVIEW COMPETING PRODUCTS, BUT SEE NO REASON TO SWITCH.

STABLE SOFTWARE; EASE OF USAGE; EXCELLENT TECH SUPPORT.

I WOULD PREFER TO PAY A LIFETIME LICENSE RATHER THAN A SUBSCRIPTION.

Overall, I really like the product. We were trying to determine all the data entry points for the post office forms manually before, and it was a herculean task. Postage $aver made it feasible to continue to use bulk mail.

This software makes the arcane process of submitting periodicals mail to the post office easy. It's a life saver!

I think the first data entry screen could be simplified. It would also be helpful if there were a bit more explanatory text on some data entry screens.

I have been in the bulk mailing business for 35+ years, used several different software packages when I was working for a larger company, but never found one as easy to use with easy integration into an address database. I am now retired and working for my high school alumni association, a non-profit that awards 8-12 $1,000 scholarships annually. I needed to find a reasonably priced CASS Certified program for handling their mailings (2,000-2,500 pieces at a time) for this small budget group, and your software was perfect for us. Easy to use, integrates easily with our database and reasonably priced for a small organization...

Ease of use, CASS Certification, works for non profit standard mail.

Nothing really, never had a problem in the years using it.

We operate a weekly newspaper and use Postage Saver to prepare our periodical mailing each week. Performing this task manually would be nearly impossible, and Postage Saver makes it quick and simple, and at a reasonable price. I would strongly recommend Postage Saver to anyone that uses any form of bulk mailing.

Price, ease of use, customization options, and features

We have been using Postage Saver for over 3 years, and have had zero issues.

We use the software for our bulk mailing to the residents of the fire district and as we cover multiple zip codes, it is easy to sort and price.

Takes my export from our database and runs reports and tray tags from that. Easy to setup and use.

Format of my export needs to be modified to use in the software.

We tried this software in demo mode and quickly realized we needed to purchase the full-blown program. It makes the task of putting together a very large mailing (3000 pieces or more) very simple. THANK YOU POSTAGE SAVER!!

The ease of setting up the information is wonderful! It takes the guesswork out of what would otherwise be an impossible chore.

Nothing. Everything was good. I have no complaints about this program in any way.
