It's a application for the mailroom in which you can track packages, create shipping labels, found out rates, and bunch of other features. Many of this is availabe through the USPS website. This though puts all the tools in one place instead of digging through USPS to accomplish task

Yep totally free. I think USPS wants to get more business esp in the higher profit express services. This is a good way to do it.... will help them make things faster too...


I am hooked

Looks like a neat little app :) Kinda confusing when you go to sign up though - you can either register for a free 30 day trial, or you can also just register. I chose to register and did so successfully without it asking for CC info or anything, so I assume this is free. What's the point of the 30 day trial then??

I wonder if they could include postage printing function also,

that way I can print postage using credit card and

just drop off my package at the post office to save time.
