You know, I came up with this idea ages ago, and did exactly nothing about it. I think it came about because I needed to mail a single letter and had no printer, no envelopes and no stamps ... surely there must be many more like me!
Would I pay £1 ($1.60) to send a letter - probably - beats needing to buy a printer (ok, I can use the printer in work) find a stamp, take it to the post box etc.
What about recorded delivery letters? I would need to queue up in the post office for those - maybe there is some why that could be handled in batches.
Also, I think companies who send lots of letters get a discount on the standard stamp price.
You could also have 'printing centers' in various countries around the world for cheaper and faster 'air mail'.
I think this idea has a lot of potential, but it would probably require TV commercials to get it to the masses!
I don't need to send many letters ... I haven't sent one for about a year now. So for my annual letter sending needs I'd easily pay above the odds, being that I still don't own a printer or stamps! I bet there are many people like me, but I've no real data on that!
