The last reviewer didn't see any point to this software. Partially that's true---you don't need it to create your photostamp, you can do the same thing online. However, there is one big plus to the software product: buying a single sheet of PhotoStamps direct from their website costs $24.99 + $2.99 shipping, at this writing. In contrast, Amazon is selling this "boxed" version ---which includes a free voucher for a single sheet of stamps---for seven bucks less than that. Do the math.

I hoped to use this software for my wedding invitations, but the amount of postage I needed (97 cents for a 2oz. square envelope) was not in their drop-down list of choices and you cannot set your own postage amount. Part of the reason for buying this software would be to create stamps with unusual postage amounts, but it does not allow for that sort of customization.

I bought 20 sheet of stamps from photostamps.com, The image of my stamps came out too dark so I returned the stamps. Per Photostamps.com website they will issue credit if you return it in 30days. However I did not get credit in my account after sending back the stamps. Their customer service told me that they will send me credit but they never did. I got same answer every time but never got my money back. I am very frustrated and eventually just gave up.

Have been a customer of theirs for years, and have had a series of software compatability issues, but this last one, as of Mar 2011 is a real kicker . . after I upgraded from IE8 to IE9 (win7 64bit OR 32bit, I tried both) their software stopped working . . after a series of their folks worked with me and their own testing couldn't reproduce the problem, they basically said, "yr on yr own," instead of spending more time with me to isolate the issue, so that OTHER customers don't have the same problem . . I canceled . . . buggy UI, not enough resolve when the problem isn't immediately apparent to their support folks.

They have had other similar problem solving technique when in a previous version, they stopped being able to print international labels, I give up . . USPS does the same thing for free and doesn't cost $16 a month.

I'd give this no stars but it won't let me.

Why would anyone buy this? I was in Compusa today as they are closing down on Long Island & thought about buying this. I put it down & said I will researh this more at home. As I suspected, you can go to [...] & do the same thing that this software does. The software doesn't allow you to print stamps at home so what's the point? The only plus is that you get a sheet of free stamps, so it's like buying a [...] coupon, that's a one time use. I don't get it?
