Pitney Bowes / Franking

[Marmalade]

What robbing cunts

As most of you will have noticed, the postal rates are changing at the end of April and the presets on my franking machine need to be changed to allow for the new rates.

Now, to 'save time and have the rates conveniently ready' pitney bowes want to charge me £59.95 + vat for the update

So, one person at pitney bowes types in the prices to their system and the 100,000 + customers then pay a totally fucking over the top rip off charge of £72 to download the file that will take all of a few seconds during one of the weekly connections anyway

This charge on top of £12 a month for the pleasure of having the machine and £7 every time I add funds to it

I'm well pissed off with this and when the contract comes round for renewal they can stick it up their arse

Yes I have similar memories of using Pitney Bowes - but thankfully I wasn't the one footing the bills at the time.

So what's the benefit of a franking machine over stamps?

Perhaps look @ one of the Providers

Or look at the royal mail print your own option. Smart stamp.

Franking you have to take into a office, at least with the stick a stamp option you just drop in the nearest post box. Which may offset the increased cost of stamps, as you may have less travel time.
