LOS ANGELES – June 29, 2005 – Stamps.com® (Nasdaq: STMP), the leading provider of Internet-based postage services, today announced the release of version 5.0 of its PC Postage software featuring a redesigned and more advanced user interface with simpler navigation and richer web content. In conjunction with the release of Version 5.0, Stamps.com today also announced it has launched a beta version of Stamps.com Enterprise, a significant product release that enables corporate customers to manage their corporate-wide mailing and shipping expenses.

“We expect the simpler and more web-centric user interface in version 5.0 to substantially improve ease-of-use for our customers,” said Stamps.com president and CEO Ken McBride. “In addition, Stamps.com Enterprise is a great new service that will allow us to target a segment of the market that we have not previously addressed.”

Version 5.0 is available immediately for download at sdcmainprod.wpengine.com. Additional new features in the software include the following:

  • Integrated access to USPS® Carrier Pickup services;
  • Improved support for international NetStamps®, including detailed information on international mail rates, content restrictions and access to downloadable USPS customs forms;
  • Delivery time estimates for mail and packages based on USPS Service Standards, and provided based on the specific mailpiece characteristics including mail class and origin and delivery zip codes;
  • More flexible reporting capabilities, including new search, sort and filter features for all usage history data;
  • New address book support, including phone numbers and dynamic installers for up to date integrations;
  • Expanded email settings and preferences allowing users to customize messages and shipping features; and
  • Enhanced customer access to information regarding their insurance and print transactions.

Stamps.com Enterprise will allow businesses to easily view and manage their corporate-wide mailing and shipping expenses by aggregating data from multiple accounts and across multiple geographies, and making that information available from an easy-to-use web-based interface. Stamps.com Enterprise customers will be able to view detailed information – including postage purchases, postage prints, insurance transactions and store transactions – on a daily or monthly basis, and by individual location or in aggregate. Stamps.com currently has two corporate participants in its beta program for Stamps.com Enterprise and is seeking additional participants.
