PALO ALTO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/29/07 -- In just two weeks after the new postage rates went into effect on May 14, Endicia's customers saved over $2 Million on their shipping expenses with electronic Delivery Confirmation(TM) and Signature Confirmation(TM) fees, discounted insurance rates, and the new online International Mail discounts. Compared with the retail counterparts of these services, Endicia Internet Postage customers enjoy savings of $0.57-0.65 per package on electronic Delivery Confirmation, $0.35 per package on electronic Signature Confirmation, up to 63% on Endicia Insurance, 5% on Priority Mail® International, and 8% on Express Mail International®. These savings are over and above the savings Endicia customers gain by taking advantage of the USPS' low rates and avoiding the hidden accessorial charges of private carriers, to say nothing of the time savings realized by using Endicia's workflow integrated shipping solutions.

"Shipping rate increases are an unfortunate reality for many online sellers and transportation managers," said Endicia president, Harry Whitehouse. "However, we are happy we can offer our customers effective new ways to save on their fulfillment costs."

Although postal rates increased, postal shipping maintains its price advantage over private carriers in most cases. For example: Priority Mail is still a great deal for light residential packages; First-Class Mail® parcels are priced well below the minimum 1lb rate of private carriers; and the discounts and flat rate options for International Mail are helping Endicia users rein in costs.
