Comments on: My bad experience with Stamps.com http://work-at-home.business-opportunities.biz/2005/12/13/my-bad-experience-with-stampscom/ News, and links for WAH entrepreneurs Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:04:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Annette http://work-at-home.business-opportunities.biz/2005/12/13/my-bad-experience-with-stampscom/comment-page-1/#comment-447882 Annette Tue, 12 Jan 2010 18:46:53 +0000 http://work-at-home.business-opportunities.biz/2005/12/13/my-bad-experience-with-stampscom/#comment-447882 I'm so glad (I think!) that I'm not the only one having a problem getting rid of stamps.com. What a rip-off. I also cancelled my subscription via phone (wasted approx. 30minutes waiting to get a rep to help me) way back in July, but continue to get emails about overdue payments. Fortunately, my credit card did expire in July and they can't get any more money from me. I've called twice since giving them my cancellation number, but to no avail. Nothing is showing on my credit report to date, but if anything does show up, I will fight it tooth & nail.

I called them and they said 'looks like I went shopping on their site'. So much hassle calling my card company to fix things. They stole my card info and kept charging me.

It costs 17.99 a month just to be able to print from their system. They also charge a dollar a sheet for you to print the stamps upon. And they charge face value for the stamps, even though you are providing the ink and paper to print them ! I set out to cancel, and got flim flammed into waiting another month, so I could get the free postage I was entitled to. Turns out you can use one $10 coupon a month, but it has to be mailed with stamps.com postage. Laura Ingraham and Marc Levin should be ashamed of themselves for pushing this service. It saves you a trip to the post office, but you have to pay 18 bucks a month. I don't even use that much a month, what was I thinking ? Stamps.com – Money for nothing .

If that doesn't work im using the trusted "my under aged kid charged it" story from what i believe they have to cancel the account if it was started by a minor. Has anyone else done this? If you have let me know if it worked!! i have had problems with stamps too, but i hate confrontations so i just used a visa gift card that i had emptied to replace my debit card that i used to sign up. they took off the 17 dollar charge (which they charged during my “FREE” 4 week trail) off my debit but im still waiting if they try to charge my original debit card.

I have an invoice for TOTAL CHARGES $159.90 and I just canceled my membership. I too was looking for the 100$ give card and doing internet co-registration research. It's unethical for the co-registration - win an ipod marketing campaigns to charge people during the registration process! I have a blog and I'm going to start writing about these scams. I'm also going to print up everything I find on the internet, write them a letter and then report them to the BBB. If they decided to refund my money, I will write a positive blog post.

Its common knowledge when you have a free trial there is some sort of obligation when you stay on past the alloted time period. All you have to do is read the information they give you and its crystal clear. I know for a fact that stamps.com associates tell everyone the information theyre complaining about during the call.

When I called their customer service number, the menu designation for cancellation disconnected the call. I tried it a couple times, so I know it wasn't a fluke. I finally reached a rep. by hitting the menu number for new accounts. He agreed to cancel the account and send me a bill. He gave me a confirmation number. When I didn't receive a bill two weeks later, I called again and paid an additional month's service on my credit card. I received a second confirmation number. Today I received a bill saying I was in arrears and threatening collection. It's a Hotel California scenario---you can checkout any time you like but you can never leave. Most of my internet purchases have gone without a wrinkle but this so called service has made me rethink e-commerce. Stamps.com–A Hotel California experience.
