Today's Easy Target: E-Stamp Stops Selling Stamps
Nov 28 2000 12:00 AM PST

 PROFILE
Stamps.com hopes that a lot more checks get stamped and mailed. Its Internet postage service lets more than 300,000 registered users download free software from the company's site, purchase stamps online from its Postage Server, and print stamps directly onto envelopes and labels. The company also offers shipping services through its iShip.com subsidiary, whose customers include Mail Boxes Etc. (20% of sales). While chief rival e-Stamp has exited the postage business (selling its domain name and patents to Stamps.com), the company has been forced to reduce its staff twice (by 40% in 2000, followed by a 50% reduction in 2001) and discontinue its plans to provide ticketing services for the events and travel industries.
