Stamps.com® today announced a new program to provide its online
mailing and shipping software to all U.S. senior citizens aged 65
and over without its customary monthly service fee (typically
$17.99) during the current COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Stamps.com
hopes that senior citizens in regions all over the country will
benefit from this program allowing them to safely mail and ship all
of their letters and packages without leaving their own homes.
"This pandemic has impacted the lives of the senior citizens of
this country more than any other group. We hope that this gesture
on our part perhaps might help some of these citizens of our
country in these difficult times,” said Ken McBride, CEO and
Chairman of Stamps.com. “We want to do our part to help out our
senior communities and to make them as comfortable as possible as
we all go through this unprecedented time together.”
With many counties and states across the U.S. issuing
stay-at-home orders to slow down the spread of the COVID-19 virus,
citizens are unable to visit their local Post Offices or other
retail locations to handle common mailing and shipping needs. Using
the Stamps.com online postage software, any user is able to print
postage for any USPS letter or package, domestic or international,
using only their computer and any ordinary printer. Stamps.com
users may then simply place the mailpiece or package in their
mailbox, schedule a convenient package pickup at their own home, or
simply leave it for their mail carrier to pick up for free at a
safe social distance.
Stamps.com’s online mailing and shipping software now also
offers the ability to buy and print labels for UPS® domestic and
international packages. The UPS service will be offered without a
monthly service fee to all senior citizens 65 and older. Through
its partnership with UPS, Stamps.com is able to offer customers UPS
discounts as much as 62 percent off Daily Rates, including various
waived surcharges. The UPS customer discounts are available
immediately when customers sign up, with no existing volume or
qualifications needed.
