I need to say right up front that I don't use this app but when I see a company just today touting POSTNET barcoding as a "new" feature, I can confidently tell you that you're dealing with a developer who places no priority whatsoever on keeping the software updated. I mean, get real, mail barcoding and pre-sorting by Zip Code has been required for years and years to receive the USPS reduced-mailing rates; yet, this app is marketed, in part, as a "Small Office" application. NOT And if it takes this long to implement barcoding, what do you think will happen when an OS update "breaks" this software? Will you be dead in the water for an extended period? Or forced to delay the OS upgrade to accommodate Chronos while they take their own sweet time providing a fix? I'd say run, don't walk, away from this software. There are plenty of alternatives by developers who are on the ball. BTW, now that Chronos has finally implemented the ancient POSTNET barcoding, I should also mention that starting in 2009 the USPS standard is Intelligent Mail® Barcoding. It's required for small offices receiving the maximum USPS discounts on their mailings. Wonder how long it'll be before SOHO Labels gets around to incorporating that requirement? The Intelligent Mail® specs were published in 2006...2½ years ago! http://ribbs.usps.gov/OneCodeSolution/

Not listed in MacUpdate is Avery's Free Design & Print that is available to use on-line and as a downloaded App. While limited to their labels, it is quite comprehensive and might be a respectable alternative to the other overpriced and poorly supported products. Libreoffice, the open source free alternative to Microsoft Office will also do labels and merge printing but it can be initially a bit tricky to setup for this use.
