They lost $37 million (or $42 million if you don't count the $5 million in interest income) on $2 million in revenues. This is a concept company, and is appropriate only for speculators who are able to lose their entire investment. |

This is another of those stocks that has fallen so far... from $98 to $25, but it has done some good things. Maybe this is the time to get in. They signed an agreement with UPS (and their 450 milllion deliveries a year) |

Ick! Stamps.com reports their quarterly numbers a couple of days ago and they are not pretty! They had revenues of $358 thousand. They had a net loss of over $33 million. It gets worse. They've spent over $24 million so far on advertising. They have registered a total of 87,000 "licensed" customers. That averages out to about $276 of advertising to attract each customer. Their average revenue per licensed customer (so far) is a whopping $4 ($358,000 / 87,000). It appears to me as though the postage users of the U.S. are not exactly flocking to this company. Does this stock still have a chance to be a moneymaker for the investor, or should we stay away as the customers are doing? It is about 64% off it's high, any chance of bouncing back or is the only money to be made on the short side? Any thoughts? Does anyone care at all? |

Stamps.com has agreed to acquire closely held iShip.com for $305 million in stock, to create a single site for mailing and shipping. The combination of the companies' Web sites will give businesses one-stop access to mailing, shipping and tracking services. |

Can you believe it? Stamps.com still has no revenues...and it's been three months since going public. Some 94,000 people have "preregistered" for the service, but none has given credit-card numbers or paid any fees to Stamps.com. Here's the pricing info (finally) - the company will charge customers a 10% fee on top of the postage. The minimum fee for companies is $3.99 a month, with the maximum at $29.99. Individuals can pay a flat fee of $1.99 for up to $25 of worth of postage a month. "it's one thing to get $20 a month from individual customers, like America Online charging monthly access fees, but getting $20 a month from business customers is a less enticing model.", says a Volpe Brown Hedge Manager. Stamps.com has not released data on how many of its potential users are business customers and how many are individuals. The company delayed its planned Sept. 27 launch to ensure that the system capacity was up to snuff. Stamps.com now plans to unveil the service in October. Payne assured that "it's not likely to happen again." So why do I even care? Because I'm really curious to see if this is really 'dotcom stupidity', like Rattboy says, or if they will really make this idea work. |

Nationwide rollout is set for Sept. 27. It will be interesting to see how it's received. |

There is an article in today's Washington Post reporting that both Stamps.com and E-Stamp received approval by the US Postal Service to print stamps online. The article also mentions E-Stamp's competitive advantageis that the customer does not have to be online to download the stamp, whereas for Stamps.com, you need to be physically connected and online. I'm not sure of the technology exactly, but the article explains everything, including pricing. All I know is that I would probably screw up ten envelopes before I got the stamp to print in the right place; i definitely see the market in the form of businesses (where there can be an expert on printer-envelope-placement  ), but i'm skeptical about individual use. |

After reading this board yesterday, and then seeing the earnings report (They lost 19 cents a share vs. the year-ago loss of 5 cents; there were no estimates), I began to wonder, are there any revenues currently? Isn't it all just pure costs right now? Are they really just waiting for the government to give or not give the 'stamp' of approval? What are the chances they will get this approval? Too many questions, too few answers... |
