From what I understand, they sell the stamps in books of 10 for $1.70.
They have no agreement with the P.O.  A PO spokesperson said that they
don't care as long as the company pays full price for the stamp.

Most of my outgoing mail goes for bills.  I don't really care if that
mail looks tacky or not.  5 cents per bill adds up.  More formal mail
will have the standard stamps.
