LOS ANGELES – January 5, 2009 – Stamps.com® (Nasdaq:STMP), the leading provider of USPS® postage online and shipping software to approximately 400,000 customers, today announced that its PC Postage® solution was automatically updated to calculate and print postage for the new USPS shipping rates that went into effect on January 4, 2010.
