A recent (non-stamp) purchase from eBay was sent using ebay-purchased postage:
As you will see this is an ordinary 1st class letter, and I doubt that there is any saving of money to be made paying for postage like this rather than using a stamp.
On the other hand there is the convenience of not buying and stocking stamps, and of paying for the purchase online, possibly from a PayPal account. I think the system also calculates the postage based on weight and destination, which saves the guesswork.
So another one to keep.
Even better if they get cancel with a slogan or with one of the few remaining Universals (Cornwall’s is working well at the moment)
ReplyDeleteThe use of market placed linked postage options may be the only way a seller has to dispatch items in a timely manner. Partly due to the increase in Mobile/Hosted Outreach post offices which have limited opening times and the increase in the number of offices closing/closed due resignation and premises being withdrawn for Post Office use.
ReplyDeleteNow officially Amazon sellers will be using these types of labels
