DYMO Desktop Mailing Solution w/LabelWriter Twin Turbo and 5 lb. USB Scale - 69270

I have not been able to use this product. It looks spiffy, and seems like something quite cool, but when I was trying to sign on to make a postage account I had to take a break for a couple of hours. When I came back the web page had timed out. I tried to back track and start over and it wouldn't allow it. I called the tech support number and was put on hold. Then I got to record the message with my number. Later, someone called back but I was busy. So.... telephone tag and what not. I don't have time for that. This device was to save time with, not spend it. I have not been able to re-start the process as if a new person, from the software, and basically I have not been able to use the product at all. It would have been nice if they had an option to email the tech support people.

This is a great, inexpensive alternative to the commercial mailing machines that can cost $250/month to rent. I had this new machine set up and printing postage within a half hour. The only pitfall I have run into is that you could potentially print postage to the incorrect roll. So be sure to print a test stamp or at least look to see that you are printing to the correct side, in my case the right roll prints the stamps. Machine is super quiet. Scale is accurate and works great. Easy to change rolls. It does take 2 USB slots to run, so I bought an extra 4-port USB hub. Overall, I am thrilled to be saving $$$$! Buy.com had the best price!

I bought this mailing solution mainly to save me the time and expense of going to the post office. I also wanted a speedier way to print one-off address labels as opposed to opening Word, creating the label and then printing on a sheet of labels. This printer was very easy to setup, the software integrates well with Quickbooks, Office, etc. for almost instant address label printing. While it does add to the overhead expenses I think it will more than pay for itself in time (and gas) saved not running to the post office.

Generally, I think this will work out well for my purposes. I mail a fair amount of 2 to 4 oz. items, so this printer will be convenient compared to trying to keep and figure various combinations of stamps. No monthly fee is a plus. The setup and use of the printer is easy and seems to work well, so far. I like the combination of 2 printer spools, which allows easy print-out of mailing labels and postage. But be careful about spool settings. My first attempt at printing postage went to the wrong spool. There does not seem to be any way to get a refund from Dymo for misprinted postage. It seems we should be able to at least accumulate the mis-prints and send them in for a refund.

I was fortunate enough to find this on sale at Buy.com, and thought I would give it a try. Well, am I happy I did. I was leary it was going to be difficult to set up, but it wasn't. In 10 minutes, I was putting postage on envelopes. I couldn't be more pleased. It has added the professional "look" to my labels, letters and postage, not to mention the EASE! One, two, three... and you're on your way. Setting up your postage account is also a breeze, you can buy in whatever price increments you please. The labels and ink are of high quality. The ink does NOT smear! It's quiet, and leaves much less of a desktop footprint than I thought. This is actually the first item I've ever taken the time to review something...it that GOOD! If you need help in the office, or just want to dress up your look, don't hesitate, even at full price.

I've only had the DYMO Desktop Mailing Solution for just a couple of weeks but so far I'm very impressed! The Good - Small footprint for both printer and scale. Very quiet printing. Quick response to software commands. No ink required! The scale has tare and/or hold feature for weighing large or empty boxes first. Best of all the Endicia software account for stamps has no monthly fees or hidden costs. You pay for the postage in a minimum of $10 purchases and bank it. Say goodbye to Pitney Bowes. The convenience of having one roll for stamps and another roll for labels is outstanding. The label software is quick and easy. The Bad - You will need an Internet connection. Summary - Very convenient and after the initial cost you only pay for the labels. I searched all over for the best price and Buy.com came up number one. I've purchased from them before and Buy.com is recommended.
