  • Postage Meters

    Details.at does not permit the listing of postage meters on its site since the sale by unauthorized dealers violates United State Postal Service Regulations.

    Postage meters are devices that can be leased from authorized manufacturers and used to print postage labels. A meter locks when no postage or minimal postage remains. A meter generally must be taken to the licensing post office to be reset by payment for additional postage. Avoiding the payment of postage by misusing a meter is punishable by law.

    Postage meters are available only by lease from authorized manufacturers. The USPS holds manufacturers responsible for the control, operation, maintenance, and replacement of their meters. The following manufacturers are authorized to lease meters:

    ASCOM HASLER MAILING SYSTEMS INC
    19 FOREST PKWY
    SHELTON CT 06484-0903

    FRANCOTYP-POSTALIA INC
    1980 UNIVERSITY
    LN LISLE IL 60532-2152

    NEOPOST
    30955 HUNTWOOD AVE
    HAYWARD CA 94544-7005

    PITNEY BOWES INC
    1 ELMCROFT RD
    STAMFORD CT 06926-0700

    No one other than an authorized manufacturer may possess a postage meter without a valid USPS meter license and a rental agreement with the meter manufacturer and until the USPS sets, seals (if applicable), and checks the meter into service. Other parties in possession of a meter must immediately surrender it to the manufacturer or USPS.
