Abstract
A method for dispensing postage includes receiving, at a postal vendor system, a proxy request from a proxy server system. The proxy server system generates the proxy request in response to a postage purchase request including one or more criteria about desired postage from a user. First postage information for printing a postage indicium is transmitted from the postal vendor system to the proxy server system. The proxy system is not authorized to dispense postage by a postal authority, but the postal vendor system is authorized to dispense postage by the postal authority.
