Since I joined PBS, I've used DC nearly all the time.  I was a beta tester for Printed Postage, and it was so easy I became hooked while hardly realizing it.  I almost never had to visit the PO during counter hours any more.

I began realizing the cost of my addiction, and want to try to break it.  For about every "3 1/2 books" that I send WITHOUT printed postage, I can send another book FREE with my savings.  I am also trying to persuade myself I can live without Instant Credit.  That is the strongest instant-gratification of printed postage for me, the immediate high!  I don't think I've ever had a book permanently lost in the mail, so that is not a cost I should worry about.

Please help and encourage me in my recovery. 

I have 7 book orders to send out.  I've printed their plain-white-wrappers, and have bought stamps from the APC.

ETA. fix typo....and I'm a "printed pAstage" addict as well.....

tooo funny

i know i have spent several hundred dolars in postage (and i have not been a member long at all)

now i try to sell credits (i grimace wen i say this because i HATE to do this) to fund my postage

I am a PBS-DC addict. I have also started to send books without it to cut down on the cost. I only use it on heavier WL books now. So far so good with none going lost. <knocks on wood>

Think of all the credits you can BUY with the money you save!!  I have mailed out a lot of books, none with printed postage or DC.  I've saved a ton of money.   If I can do it so can you.
