Additional Costs
In addition to the cost of renting the postage meter itself, there are associated costs to consider. While Pitney Bowes machines include some supplies (depending on the meter you rent or whether you’re a first-time customer), you need to think about the cost of replenishing supplies and equipment.
Adhesive tapes, inks, labels, and envelopes all need to be kept in stock, which means you need to make sure you purchase enough of them and stay on top of restocking. In addition, you may prefer a unit that allows you to purchase certain items, such as replacement ink, from an office supply store instead of your vendor. Also consider any add-ons you might want, such as a separate scale, selears, or staplers. These increase the efficiency of your postage meter but come at an extra cost.
Other costs that people tend to forget about are the costs of insuring the machine and the cost of property taxes on your equipment. It is a good idea to sit down and go over all of your possible costs and fees before making a final decision on your Pitney Bowes postage meter.
