So was driving and heard this ad on the radio for this .com company that is offering US Postage stamps and other postal service that cost less than our US Postal Service? What's up? So why would the USPS partner with a private for profit on basic services like stamps? Talk me down ... who owns this enterprise?

Hes dead now. I dont miss him.

Stamps.com is a legitimate company. As the usps puts it, an approved reseller. I used to use them, then used another company, which they bought, do now I use them again. Directed toward business shoppers. Postage is discounted. Not an attack on the usps.
