This outfit could be useful for getting rental agreements / property directions etc. to punters who don't/won't use email.

You email (or input via browser) L-Mail your letter/document and they post it immediately from 27 different countries.

Thanks for the link, but it's quoting me per (presumably standard 2 oz) letter:

Australia $1.50
Canada $1.01
France $1.30
Japan $1.53
United Kingdom $0.98
United States $1.01

Well hey, I can post myself to US for 42 cents and to UK for around 90 cents as well, so what am I supposed to be gaining here?

I'll bookmark the Lmail site, thanks, you never know.

It's not a what, it's a where. Oz is short for Australia

Are you two talking at cross purposes? Oz is short for ounce (and also short for Australia, but in the context of weight....) Confused

Probably. I have been twittering on about booking flights to Oz, but in this context, it may well be an oz=unit of weight kind of context.... lol

Clever idea MG, must remember it exists (even if I bookmarked it I might be inclined to forget,) but so far, the particular scenario that might make it handy hasn't presented itself. That's not to say it won't, particularly in the case of punters resistent to technology and change.
