president prior to the completion of the acquisition by Stamps.com. Before
launching iShip.com, Teglovic served as general manager of Velleb, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of UPS that was responsible for the design and
development of UPS Online(R) Professional, the world's most powerful shipping
and tracking software.

"We are extremely pleased to welcome Jack and Steve to our board," said John
Payne, Stamps.com chairman and CEO. "Their extensive, highly relevant business
experience and understanding of the shipping and e-commerce markets will make
them tremendous advisors to the company, especially as we intensify our efforts

operating officer and the former chief marketing officer of the U.S. Postal
