Best online postage provider to use for shipping?

I use Stamps.com and they have every conceivable shipping option from printing stamps, letter rates, first class rates, media, etc....

I pay a monthly fee though, so maybe the free version doesn't offer all those other services.

That said, I'm thinking of ditching them. It used to be convenient because it would easily import all my Ebay/Paypal/Website addresses into the shipping tool as I got paid with the touch of a single button.

Then the import tool started to get sketchy. It's been locked out of Ebay for long stretches at a time. Seems to work now, but wasn't working for almost a couple of years, in which time I got used to using Ebay Shipping. No longer imports my Paypal addresses (separate from Ebay), so I have to input all of those manually anyways.

Just an overall pain, that's seemed to regress over the last several years that doesn't seem to be worth the monthly fee anymore, outside of saving all my old addresses for me.

Might move over to Pirateship when I get ambitious enough.

Me too. Super easy and convenient. Comes with the same discounts as eBay.

I use eBay standard envelope for basic purchase due to convenience; for other items I default to PayPay and PirateShip. PirateShip has been easy to use.

I have not had to make an insurance claim - so can not address that issue.
