The Convenience of Using a Postage Meter?
A postage meter allows you to print out postage of any denomination whenever you need it. You are directly hooked into a modem that connects you to the post office. When you print a postage sticker, the money is deducted from an account that you have created already. Save Transportation Time Using a postage meter helps you to create postage for packages and letters of any size, shape, and weight. It eliminates the need to travel to the post office and stand in line to purchase postage. If you have a scale to measure the weight of packages, all you have to do is type in the right amount and print the label. Many postage meters also have attachments that will seal envelopes for you, or print postage directly on the envelope itself. The time that your employees save by not having to visit the post office can result in higher productivity. Only Buy Postage You Use You will also benefit from the fact that you never have to pay for extra stamps or postage if you’re not sure how much postage certain packages require. You can create postage with the exact amount that you need to use. There is no need to track down single penny stamps, or lose money by using stamps that are the wrong denomination. A postage meter gives you complete control of your postage expenses, and it creates postage that is easier for the post office to use as well. Monitor the Meter in Busy Offices The only down side of having a postage meter installed in a busy office is that it is easy for employees to misuse the machine. Most postage meters have ways to keep track of the amount of mail that is sent, and you can look at the postage amounts for each piece of mail as well. You can set up passwords that allow only a few people to use the postage meter if you are overly concerned that it will be used for purposes other than business. You should appoint a specific person to oversee the postage meter and monitor its use. Some employers will allow personal usage if the person pays the postage amount directly to the bookkeeper.
