E-Stamp lets customers use the Internet to buy postage, which
is stored in a secure "vault" that plugs into a user's
computer. When postage is used, a bar-code is printed directly on
the envelope and the amount deducted from the vault.
E-Stamp also signed a partnership with Digital River Inc.,
which distributes software online, to offer its product through
Digital River's Web stores, Thomas said.
"The partnerships are in place to reach even more people
even more quickly," he said.
The deals turn up the heat on the only other company approved
by the Postal Service to offer online postage, Stamps.com Inc.,
which also has several distribution deals and plans a nationwide
launch on Sept. 27.
Thomas declined to give further details, citing the mandated
quiet period before the company's initial public stock offering.
