    What a nice idea! A few questions out of curiosity:

    * Do you plan to somehow collaborate with local post offices/companies/partners in order to avoid long-distance trips and increase the efficiency of the delivery?

    * How will the delivery fee be calculated? Will it be roughly fixed or will it increase according to the distance/remoteness?

    How do you know people send the hard copy to themselves?

    Edit: love the (Dutch) name!

    I regularly use superpost.com which is a similar service, although a little cheaper. A very good experience. Although I can never remember their name when I need it ;) Too general I guess. I keep your service in mind for my next letter.

    In France the post office does that for you. You send them a PDF and they print it, stamp it and deliver it.

    As a bonus you get traceability.

    I made a tool to send letters and now people use it to just print. What was the last thing you printed?
