STAMPS.COM SOFTWARE AUTOMATICALLY UPDATED WITH NEW POSTAGE RATES

Stamps.com’s Customers Avoid Crowded Post Offices

 

LOS ANGELES – May 11, 2009 – Stamps.com® (Nasdaq:STMP), the leading provider of online postage and shipping software solutions to approximately 400,000 customers, announced today that all Stamps.com PC Postage® products already include everything customers will need to calculate and print the new USPS® rates that go into effect today. Stamps.com solutions also include postage discounts not available at Post Office™ locations or through traditional meters. PC Postage customers can learn more about the postage increase at Stamps.com’s website. Stamps.com’s customers can completely avoid the Post Office – an even greater benefit whenever the USPS raises its rates and Post Office locations across the country become crowded as non-PC Postage users rush to get additional postage and to figure out the new rates.

Some of Stamps.com’s PC Postage features include:


  • Automatic rate updates for free – unlike providers of other solutions, such as traditional postage meters, who typically charge a fee every time a postage increase occurs.


  • Easily print 2 cent stamps with NetStamps®, Stamps.com’s feature which allows customers to print postage that functions just like ordinary postage stamps.
  • Savings of up to 80% over traditional postage meters by eliminating the need for proprietary ink refills, costly reset fees and expensive, long-term contracts.
  • Postage discounts of up to 11% on Priority Mail®, up to 5% on Express Mail®, up to 8% on International shipping, and 10% on package insurance, versus rates at the post office. Even larger discounts are available to qualified high volume customers (contact Stamps.com to find out more).
  • Free delivery confirmation and free package pickup with Priority Mail service.
  • Hidden Postage® for discrete shipping charges for eCommerce businesses.
  • Automatic address cleansing to avoid the cost and hassle of wasted postage.

“We are committed to delivering a seamless postage and shipping solution to our customers, particularly during rate increases,” said Stamps.com president and CEO Ken McBride. “That is why we have worked to make this and all upcoming rate changes as pain-free as possible for our PC Postage customers.”

Stamps.com is offering a free webinar today, May 11th at 11 a.m. PDT to teach small business owners everything they need to know about the new USPS rates, and about options that are available to reduce mailing and shipping expenses.
