The end of Royal Mail stamps?
The Royal Mail are working on an app which will bring to an end to writing out an address on an envelope and affixing the stamp. The app would generate a postage paid barcoded address label – the cost would be taken by the app too.
Royal Mail are ramping up developments to give the user a more convenient service for both dropping off parcels at enhanced parcel drop off boxes and convenient delivery lockers. The owner of the Royal Mail is a shareholder in Sainsbury’s, so not doubt their outlets will create new convenient locations.
