Stamps.com has sold its iShip multi-carrier shipping service to UPS. The transaction is part of Stamps.com’s strategy announced last month to
focus the company's attention on its core mailing and shipping services for
small business and home offices. UPS was interested in the service because its Mail Boxes Etc. subsidiary already uses the multi-carrier service and UPS wants to make sure the service will continue uninterrupted. In addition, owning the service allows UPS to customize and enhance it to UPS’ own needs, a spokesman says.
iShip uses a web-based application to find the most expedient way to ship an order.
