Why You Can’t Buy a Postage Meter

Postage meters are a great way for businesses to save time and money on essential postage. Unfortunately, you cannot just buy a postage meter, so if you need one for your business, the only option is to rent or lease one from a dealer.

Why Aren’t Postage Meters For Sale?

The USPS authorizes only a few companies to manufacture and supply postage meters, which means you can only lease them from certain dealers. Rental prices range from around $20 per month for entry-level machines for small businesses, to over $1,000 per month for high-volume meters.

Postage meter rental prices vary considerably, reflecting a huge range of optional features and services. Note that postage meter rental prices don’t include postage costs, which are set by the USPS rather than meter suppliers.

• Save yourself time having to manually process mail
• And save fuel with fewer trips to the post office
• Plus, postage meters let you track your spending online
