FAQ
Answers to the most commonly asked questions about Quadient and our postage meters.
About Quadient USA
No. At Quadient, we don’t charge you a reset fee for adding postage to your meter. Some companies will offer free reset fees, but only for a limited time before surprising customers on their next invoice. Not us! And if you need live support, that’s free, too.
The Quadient iX-1 Postage Meter gives you direct access to postage discounts, saving you 5% on every letter you send. Plus if you add NeoShip shipping software to your postage meter, you'll qualify for commercial-based discounts that can save your business up to 32% on Priority Mail®.

About Quadient Postage Meters
Yes. Quadient has postage meters for businesses and mail volumes of all sizes. Call your Quadient representative toll free at 877.888.0677 for details on our complete line of postage meters.
With online postage companies like stamps.com®, you can waste time and money with complicated applications, extra steps, printing headaches and special labels. With a Quadient postage meter, processing your mail is simple and quick. You can apply postage in less than 10 seconds. There is no need to provide your credit card information unless you choose to, and there will never be any automatic charges to your card. Visit our Stamps.com vs Quadient comparison page.
Today, using a meter makes sense for ANY mail volume. Postage actually costs less when you use a mailing machine, not to mention the time you'll save in your day. Also, consider the time spent driving to the post office (especially with the high cost of gas) and standing in line. Plus, with a Quadient meter, you can also take advantage of lower shipping rates for envelopes, flats and packages when you integrate our shipping software for a low monthly price. Spend more time working on your business and less time processing your mail.
Absolutely. If you own or manage a small business, you are used to working on tighter budgets and with less resouces. Postage meters make sense for ANY volume of mail and for any sized business. You don’t have to waste time and money running to the post office for stamps or reduce staff productivity to get the next mailing out. Using a postage meter is also faster and easier than using an online postage company like stamps.com® for processing postage.

No. There are no hidden fees added to the price we quote you. Rates are locked in for the duration of the contract. Quadient just sends an invoice. No extra charges, no money up front. And, with our neoFunds® service, you get a $700 interest-free line of credit.
Ink cartridges
The ink cartridge for the Quadient iX-1 Postage Meter is double the capacity of a comparable Pitney Bowes model postage meter. With the iX-1, you can print up to 1,300* stamps (indicia) before your cartridge will need to be replaced.
* Note: There are many factors that contribute to the number of impressions you will get from an ink cartridge. Adding extra marketing images and messages to the indicia will use more ink per impression. Keep in mind that running printhead cleaning cycles often uses a lot of ink, which also reduces the number of impressions.
The price of a replacement ink cartridge is $131.00. However, with the Quadient iX-1, you get the first ink cartridge free. What’s more, our ink costs 20% less per impression than the comparable Pitney Bowes model and is double the capacity.
Contracts & cancellations
Yes. Additional contract terms are available. However, the monthly rates and special offers will vary. Please contact a Quadient representative toll-free at 877.888.0677 to talk about options for your business.
