Brief Overview:

        "USA Postage" acquired the domain name USA-Postage.com on November 2, 2009. After receiving USPS authorization on January 7, 2010, they began operating as an affiliate of Stamps.com (SDC). Accordingly, as an affiliate they could market, sell and fulfill orders, but were not authorized to approve imagery or print postage. They had to be associated with an authorized provider who created the stamp indicia using a USPS approved postage evidencing system.

        "USA Postage" was headquartered in Hyderabad, India, with offices in Alpharetta, a suburb outside of Atlanta, Georgia. They launched a series of seven custom postage stamps depicting the Hindu gods and goddesses Sai Baba, Lord Venkateshwara, Lakshmi, Murugan, Vinayaka, Shiva-Parvathi, and Sri Krishna to target the 1.5 million Hindus living in the US. Profits from their custom stamp sales were to be donated to Indian temples.

        "USA Postage" wanted more design area, creative sheet options and larger sales commissions than available with SDC. On January 1, 2014 after using SDC as their provider for 4 years, "USA Postage" switched from SDC to Endicia's "PictureItPostage."

        The resultant stamps, once separated from their sheets could not be identified as having been purchased from "USA Postage." They went through ongoing technical and administrative problems working with feedback from experienced users of custom stamps. They ceased operations in June 2015.
