While the majority of the 300 MSS members are located within the United States, there are members from 25 other countries around the world. This diverse membership ensures that the most current meter stamp news is reported and made available to all members by way of the Meter Stamp Society Quarterly Bulletin. It also provides members with the opportunity to correspond with like-minded collectors around the world.

The MSS is dedicated to serving the needs and interests of its members and provides balanced reporting of new and old meter stamp types, exciting slogan themes, and information on more detailed areas. For example, recently there have appeared comprehensive country catalogs on Vatican City and Guatemala and there is a monthly feature on slogan themes.

All members will receive copies of the award winning Meter Stamp Society Quarterly Bulletin. Each new issue of the Meter Stamp Society Quarterly Bulletin contains the latest meter stamp news and illustrations of new worldwide issues. For example, the Fall 1997 issue reported the discovery of an 1897 meter stamp used in the United States which completely re-wrote meter stamp history. Until this discovery, Norway was thought to have used the first meter stamp. In addition, the Bulletin serves to update, and maintain current, the various meter stamp catalogs in print, such as The United States Postage Meter Stamp Catalog. Back issues are also available for purchase.
