Consider establishing a relationship with a local or national disaster recovery firm. When a pipe broke in our data center, we scrambled to find a reliable company to do the work quickly but correctly and work with our insurance company so we didn't have to pay an arm and a leg (these guys smell blood in the water with an emergency). We wound up using http://www.floodcontroller.com - they have a ton of regional outfits (if not will send a pre-qualified partner) to get to most places pretty quick and get it done right. We would have loved to had a pre-existing relationship with a company like FloodController.com so we didn't have to call 10 guys and feel like 9 of them looked at us like a lotto ticket!

We've used AffinityBag.com before and they are phenomenal! I like that they are phone accessible and we can pretty much were able to tell them what we were looking to do and they came back with a creative solution and some pricing options. The finished product arrived on time, quality was as expected, and we were happy!... hard to find a business that is thorough like them these days!

I just re-read, sorry if that was confusing. I recommend Pitney Bowes for volume mailing and frequent packages through USPS, otherwise Stamps.com is the easiest to setup and use and fits most small businesses.

We are a small insurance agency with 8 people. When we started 12 years ago, I used to have to go to the post office twice a week, because no matter how much postage I would buy, we would always run out. A few years ago, we tried Pitney Bowes, but we always had problems with their hardware and connecting to refill our account. Since we switched to Stamps.com early 2006, our postage needs are now low hassle
