The US Postal Service (USPS) has approved personal computer-generated postage systems that make it possible for business owners to forgo stamps, even for low-volume mailings.
For several years the USPS has been looking for ways to stop postage meter fraud. Both the mechanical devices that record postage usage and the imprint placed on metered mail pieces are targets of tampering or counterfeiting. Some of the new developments in desktop postage are helping in the fight against fraud. And, they make buying stamps more convenient than ever before.
