Anyone know if envelopes with one of these postage labels still goes through a meter, or is the postage already "cancelled" and thus forgo the meter?

No meter necessary. The post office gets the sender info from the bar code.

Good question. I don't know. I have never received one, always been the sender.

Yes, the postage will be same because it depends on how much weight it is.ThanksBest regards, Gigablockshop

PS I too have had problems with printing the envelopes. They are heavy paper but if I lightly hold down the flap as it goes into the printer, that helps it accept it but if it doesn't, it will jam your printer.

yep. Totally works. The issue isn't balance, as the previous answer suggested, but reading the display. However, if you have, say and 8x10" envelope, just use the clear bottom case as a tray and zero it. When you place the envelope on top you'll be able to see the readout. if balance is and issue, heck use a plate on top of the tray, zero THAT, and place your envelope on top. Pretty neat tool

I didn't receive any "papers" with my box either--I love this box though. Using it is pretty self-explanatory. I don't recall any warranty promised by the vendor. I've had mine probably about 6 months without any complaints. PP

Unfortunately, these envelopes are NOT heat resistant. :-( I use Stamps.com for a lot of my postage needs, so will print the postage onto a label, then trim that label to fit on these envelopes. I'd only go thru the trouble to do this IF I wanted a "date" stamped on my postage, like for a mortgage payment, etc. Still, you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal for general usage. Hope this helps, Howard

No. These envelopes are very small. I had to return them because they were so small.

I have printed over 100 label pages 3000 labels......works perfectly. Have not tried envelopes.

Yes, the priority mail envelopes that you're referring to are what I use the majority of the time. I've never had an issue with the labels not sticking, even when I have an irregularly shaped item in the envelope.

I've had mixed reaction with the mailing of these. One postal worker said it is considered a parcel. Really? At a mailing store I had one sent for .82 and was really happy with that. Went back to the same place days later and they wanted to charge me over $2.50. After expressing my opinion it went out for around a dollar. They are all over the map with the cost to mail these. The post office charged me over 3.00 each and that is what sent me to other places. Good luck in getting a place that charges what should be charged and not most of the above prices.

I don't know the answer. After purchasing the stamp, I was able to freely communicate with the seller about the stamp. I was completely satisfied with the company supplying all necessary info before the stamp was produced. There is a place on the page where the information is listed for the stamp where you can ask for more information to be provided. I would try that. It is so inexpensive that you don't have to worry about making the purchase. If you do not want to buy it, you can always cancel the order. Trust Amazon to handle this correctly.

I wish I knew. Be wary, the envelopes are pretty crummy. None of them stay sealed.

They came out with another firmware in late July but I haven't printed any envelopes yet to see if it helped any. This is what works for me..... Push the envelope into the slot _lightly_ until you will feel a slight stop. Do NOT push any further! Just use your finger tips at the rear most part of the envelope. Within a few seconds (5 or 6 seconds if the printer is asleep) you should feel the printer grab the envelope, it will only move a very slight amount, maybe 1/8th of an inch, you have to pay attention, then you should be able to print normally. It works for me every time now. I've had mine over a year. I found it out from another poster. After digging into Brothers web site and reading their manuals I actually did see where Brother mentioned the same thing, but I had to do a lot of digging to find it. I think it was buried in their trouble shooting section? Thank goodness I don't print a lot of envelopes, that's actually my only nit pick, well, that and having to open the back of the printer when printing envelopes. Also, I use the cheaper standard envelopes and I found that if you use the handle of a butter knife or another flat utensil and flatten the envelope first it will get rid of 90% of the wrinkles. Hoped it helps....

Thank you so much. I would be glad to send you a postage paid envelope so you could send it to me or if you have access to a fax machine it could be faxed. I may have too much trouble too but I also have had it for many years and want to try it out.Sharon

I haven't had any problems. The tape is really sticky and has done a good job with shipping boxes. If you get a bad batch just let 3M know and they'll replace it for you I am sure.

I just tried it to answer your question. I put the label on a regular white envelope and tried to peel it off. (I had rubbed it on really good to test this, but it was only on for a few seconds) It came off perfectly. It did not pull up any of the envelope. I was also able to stick it back on the envelope fine. :-)

It requires stamps labels that are approved by the USPS. I've always bought mine directly from Dymo.
