We've been working hard to make your shipping experience even better. Here’s what’s new:

🌡 Hazmat Shipping Support

Ever been bummed out because you couldn't ship items with Lithium batteries? Well, not anymore! You can now ship these items safely using USPS Ground Advantage service. Make sure you select this option when your package includes hazmat items!

👌 Usability Tweaks

We've listened to your feedback and made some under-the-hood adjustments to make navigating the site easier and more intuitive. You might not see these changes, but you'll definitely feel them!

Keep on shipping, and as always, let us know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Cheers,
the Stampnik Team!

With the recent release of the new Ground Advantage service, USPS has rolled two options (First-Class & Parcel Select) into a simpler service. And Stampnik is proud to offer this service to you at a discount.

Available for shipping packages up to 70 pounds nationwide!

With the rollout of new USPS pricing for 2023, we continue to offer discounts on all flat-rate packages for Priority and Priority Express mail! Additionally, first-class package (under one pound) discounts are now also available.

With the rollout of new USPS pricing for 2022, we're now able to offer discounts on all flat-rate packages for Priority and Priority Express mail!

We've just added support for USPS Media Mail service. This is the most affordable way to ship certain kinds of items, including bound books, DVDs & Blu-ray discs, audio CDs, vinyl records, and other types of media. Though we are unable to offer a discount for this service level, Stampnik can still save you a trip to the post office since you can purchase a Media Mail label from your home or office. For a complete list of items that can be shipped with Media Mail, please visit the USPS site.

Our API documentation has also been updated to show how to use this service level.

Our prices were updated on January 24th, 2021 to reflect the latest USPS pricing. Some service levels, including Priority mail service, allow us to provide more savings than before.

We've added support for USPS Parcel Select Ground service. This service can save a few dollars for large, heavy packages. Additionally, you can ship larger packages (up to 130" in combined length and distance around the thickest part) with this service than are allowed with Priority Mail.

Our API documentation has also been updated to show how to use this service level.

We've added a new cart view to preview your multi-label purchases before checkout.

Our prices will be updated on January 26th, 2020 to reflect updated USPS pricing. Generally, prices have gone up a few percent for most service levels.

Our new checkout process has added secure support for various payment methods, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Credit Cards. To use Apple Pay, you must use either an iOS device or Safari browser on macOS. For Google Pay, you must use the Google Chrome browser on desktop or mobile. Credit Card payments are supported in all browsers/devices and secured by Stripe. We never store your credit card numbers.

Our prices have been updated to the 2019 USPS pricing. Other than a general increase in rates, First-Class Package service is now based on Zone rates as well as package weight.

Our prices have been updated to the 2018 USPS pricing changes. Also, we have updated our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Our prices will reflect the USPS pricing changes planned for Jan 21st, 2018.

We've added support for adding a note directly to your printed label. This is also supported by our bulk uploader tool and prefill API. See the API docs for more info on adding a note to your labels.

We've made various improvements and bugfixes this week. Most importantly, you can now retry all labels that failed during the purchase process. This was already possible with flat-rate packages, but is now supported for custom boxes. One caveat is that the updated addresses must have the same State and Zipcode as the addresses we quoted.

We've added the ability to track all packages mailed with Stampnik, with tracking status shown on label pages and cart views. Our prices now reflect the latest USPS pricing changes made in early 2017.

We've made some changes to the checkout process to allow much faster checkout speeds. After recent blockchain-related slowdowns, our checkout process is now much faster for everyone! Most purchases should complete within a minute or less.

For our developer users, we've added thorough documentation for our Prefill Link API. Check out the API documentation. Feedback is always welcomed!

We tend to get a lot of repeat questions and have now collected them in one place: Stampnik FAQ

Easily create new labels by prefilling as much of the label form as you'd like. Use our API Prefill Link Tool to create your own custom Stampnik URLs.

We've worked hard to improve the look and feel of the site and have released some new design elements to improve navigation. We also released improved print formatting for carts and single labels, including the following print formats:

• Dedicated 4"x"6" label printers (e.g. the DYMO LabelWriter 4XL)
• Landscape mode (2 labels per letter-sized page)
• Portrait mode (1 label per letter-sized page)

Due to recent bitcoin price fluctuations, we updated how bitcoin refunds are processed for unused labels. Refunds for expired checkouts and overpayments will continue to be processed at the original bitcoin amount.

• Fixed a bitcoin exchange-rate issue that was affecting the display of label quotes
• Improved label purchases so multi-label carts are completed more quickly after confirmation

Our label partner made some recent changes that affected how our printed labels appear. We've updated the sample label to reflect the new look. Labels now have a cleaner look, but more importantly, there are some under-the-hood changes that greatly improve the reliability of our service!

Stampnik launches its service, offering discounted USPS postage with bitcoin payment support.
